Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3 & 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour {you can use all-purpose flour as well}
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup {1 stick} salted butter melted

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 Tbsp. butter melted

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar and let sit until frothy. {about 5 minutes}
  2. Add the salt and vegetable oil and mix well.
  3. In a large bowl, yeast mixture and about 2 cups of flour.
  4. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough starts to pull away from sides and is no longer sticky.
  5. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  7. Let rise for one hour, until doubled in size. {Or if you’re doing this the night before, just place it in the refrigerator and go to bed.}
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  9. Punch down dough and knead on a floured surface until smooth again; set aside.
  10. In a small bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon.
  11. Place butter in another small bowl.
  12. Rip off small pieces of dough {I used like a quarter size} and roll into a ball.
  13. Dip the ball in the butter and then roll it around in the sugar mixture; place on a cookie sheet.
  14. Repeat steps 12 & 13 until you fill your cookie sheet up and then bake for 10-12 minutes.
  15. Do this until all the dough is gone.
  16. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  17. Use a spoon to drizzle your frosting over the cinnamon roll bites.
