Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a small bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
• Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the longer sides. Pinch the seam to seal.
• Cut the log into 12 equal pieces (about 1-inch thick).
• Place the cinnamon roll bites into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, cut-side up. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• While the bites are baking, prepare the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll bites.
