Cinnamon Rolls
Churro Bites
Method
Cinnamon Rolls
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.
Prepare Filling
In a bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Roll Out Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Shape Rolls
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
Second Rise
Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
Churro Bites
Add Eggs
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Shape Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bite-sized pieces directly into the hot oil.
Fry Until Golden
Fry the churro bites until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Coat with Sugar
Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the churro bites in the mixture while they're still warm.
