Cinnamon Filling

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, warm the milk until it's lukewarm. Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is frothy, pour it into the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Cinnamon Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.

Assembly & Baking

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Add Filling

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

  3. 8

    Cut and Shape Bites

    Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.

  4. 9

    Bake

    Place the cinnamon roll bites in a greased baking dish, leaving space in between. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze Preparation

  1. 10

    Make Glaze

    In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. 11

    Drizzle Glaze

    Once the cinnamon roll bites are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
