Cinnamon Roll Bites ♥️😋👩🏻‍🍳

These were so good 😋 Tasted just like the center of a cinnamon roll 🩵

Ingredients:

FOR THE DOUGH:

1/2 cup warm milk

1 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast

1 large egg

1/4 cup salted butter Melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour divided

TO SHAKE THE DOUGH BALLS:

1/4 cup melted salted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

FOR THE SYRUP:

1/2 cup salted butter melted, 4 ounces

1/4 cup brown sugar 55 grams

2 teaspoons cinnamon

TO POUR OVER THE TOP:

1/2 cup heavy cream

FOR THE POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE:

1 cup powdered sugar

4 tablespoons heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

MAKE THE DOUGH:

1. Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast overtop.

2. Add the eggs, butter and sugar. Mix until combined.

3. Add in salt and 2 cups of flour. Mix using the beater blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the flour has time to soak up the liquids. Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook.

4. Beat the dough on medium speed. Knead for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth. Add the last ¼ cup of dough if the dough is too sticky. **The dough should be tacky and will still be sticking to the sides of the bowl. That's ok!

5. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Use a rubber spatula to remove the dough from the mixer bowl and place it in the greased large bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel or wax paper.

6. Set the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise until almost double. It normally takes about 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Do not allow the dough to rise too much.

7. Split off dough pieces. Roll into balls. Toss dough balls in melted butter.

8. Place ½ cup brown sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Shake the dough balls in the bag with the sugar to coat them.

9. Place them in a greased 10” cast iron skillet. Set aside. ½ cup brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

MAKE THE SYRUP:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.

2. Then pour butter/brown sugar/cinnamon mixture over the top of the dough balls. Let this rise for about 20 minutes.

HEAVY CREAM:

1. Pour ½ cup heavy cream over the rolls.

BAKE THE ROLLS:

1. Bake at 350ºF for 27-29 minutes or until the cinnamon roll bites are baked through.

MAKE THE GLAZE:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
