Cinnamon Roll Bites

Dough:

1 & 1/2 cups hot water {as hot as you can get it out of the tap - not boiling.}

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

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar and let sit until frothy. {about 5 minutes}

Add the salt and vegetable oil and mix well.

In a large bowl, yeast mixture and about 2 cups of flour.

Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough starts to pull away from sides and is no longer sticky.

Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

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.}

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Punch down dough and knead on a floured surface until smooth again; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon.

Place butter in another small bowl.

Rip off small pieces of dough {I used like a quarter size} and roll into a ball.

Dip the ball in the butter and then roll it around in the sugar mixture; place on a cookie sheet.

Repeat steps 12 & 13 until you fill your cookie sheet up and then bake for 10-12 minutes.

Do this until all the dough is gone.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Use a spoon to drizzle your frosting over the cinnamon roll bites.

Serve warm. (Recipe from High Heels and Grills)
