Cinnamon Rolls

Churro Bites

Method

Cinnamon Rolls

1

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Prepare Filling

In a bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

5

Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

6

Add Filling

Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.

7

Shape Rolls

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.

8

Second Rise

Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

9

Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.

10

Glaze (optional)

Mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and a little milk for a glaze, and drizzle over the warm rolls.

Churro Bites

11

Prepare Dough

In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Remove from heat.

12

Add Eggs

Allow the dough to cool slightly, then mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

13

Heat Oil

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

14

Shape Churros

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bite-sized pieces directly into the hot oil.

15

Fry Until Golden

Fry the churro bites until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

16

Coat with Sugar

Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the churro bites in the mixture while they're still warm.
