pull-apart

Designed for separating

Pull-apart describes food designed to be torn into pieces by hand rather than sliced: pull-apart bread, pull-apart rolls.

The dough portions are shaped separately but baked touching, so they fuse lightly and separate easily.

As a noun, a pull-apart is such a bread or pastry: She brought a cinnamon pull-apart to the potluck.
