Time 5h40m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed

Vanilla Glaze for Cinnamon-Bun Bites

Steps:

  • Pour water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast evenly over water, and let stand until foamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then whisk in 1/2 cup flour to form a loose paste. Let rise in a warm place until yeast mixture has risen and fallen, about 30 minutes.
  • Add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and remaining flour to yeast mixture. Knead dough, using dough hook attachment on mixer, until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 stick butter, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes (add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky). Turn out dough onto an unfloured work surface, and knead by hand until very smooth, about 3 minutes. Transfer dough to another bowl, and let rise in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down dough; press out air bubbles.
  • Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate or 9-inch square glass baking dish. Place melted butter in a bowl. Stir together remaining 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon in another bowl.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls (you should have about 45). Working with 1 at a time, dip balls into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar and place in pie plate. Stack balls to form a dome. Sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar, and drizzle with any leftover butter. Cover with plastic wrap, and let balls rise by half, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap balls, and place pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let bites cool in dish 15 minutes, then drizzle with glaze.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and the milk is warm before adding to the yeast mixture.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough to a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side.
  • Pinch the seams to seal the roll.
  • Cut the roll into 12 even pieces.
  • Place the cinnamon bun bites in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon bun bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, fluffy, and full of cinnamon sugar flavor. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, these cinnamon bun bites are sure to be a hit.
