Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted unsalted butter (if using), and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Do not over-knead.

Cinnamon Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and then combine it with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture until it forms a paste.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 5

    Roll Out Dough

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, approximately ¼ inch thick.

  2. 6

    Spread Filling

    Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.

  3. 7

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch wide.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough bites on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Glaze Preparation

  1. 9

    Make the Glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.

Final Assembly

  1. 10

    Glaze the Bites

    Once the Cinnadough Bites are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over them.

  2. 11
