Description

Delicious bite-sized cinnamon roll treats, soft and fluffy, drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons soft butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed. In a separate bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until smooth. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon, and mix until blended.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle approximately ¼-inch thick.
  5. Add the Filling: Spread softened butter over dough, sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture, and press gently.
  6. Roll and Slice: Tightly roll dough from the long edge into a log, slice into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Arrange in the Pan: Grease a baking dish, place bites into the pan with space in between.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  9. Make the Vanilla Glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  10. Glaze the Bites: Remove bites from oven, cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle glaze generously over warm bites.
