CINNAMON ROLL BITES

I love these little bites, especially as the days get cooler and all you want is some fresh, hot, sugary bread straight from the oven. I also love that they’re so easy, you can make them ahead and quickly finish up and bake them in the morning. That way, you can even bring them still warm and gooey to your colleagues at work.

I love a good monkey bread made with yeast dough — who doesn’t? But there are days (okay, most of them) that yeast dough can take a little too much time and effort.

This biscuit dough comes together in 5-10 minutes max, and you can easily make the dough ahead, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the next morning or whenever you want to bake these bites.

You can also make the dough, prepare your pan, coat your dough balls in the cinnamon sugar, place in the pan and cover with plastic wrap or tin foil and refrigerate until ready to use. Then all you have to do before baking is drizzle with the melted butter and preheat the oven.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour (whole wheat, all purpose, or a mix)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 3/4-1 cup cold milk
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

GLAZE:

• 1/3 cup icing sugar
• 1-2 tbsp milk just enough to bring the glaze together

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt (I mix with my pastry cutter).
2. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until butter is in pea-sized pieces.
3. Stir in milk gradually, adding just enough so that the dough comes together. Bring together in a ball with your hands (if you accidentally add too much milk and it becomes sticky, just add a little more flour).
