Cherry Pull-Apart Bread image

Every year I make a huge batch of my cherry bread -some goes to friends as a special treat, and the rest we enjoy as part of our Christmas breakfast. Refrigerated biscuits give the texture of scones to a pretty loaf that's much quicker than yeast bread made from scratch. -Beverly Batty, Forest Lake, Minnesota

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

This bread is a great way to use up leftover cherries. I always have a few extra cherries after I make cherry pie, and this bread is the perfect way to use them up.
