Hey y'all! Hope you are doing well. Today I am sharing how I make my center of the roll bites. I have experimented a lot with this recipe and my family and I agree that this is the BEST! I have experimented with the flours, to the sugars and even the cinnamon. These are a family favorite!
I made a video showing how I make them. You can find that here.
To start I add sugar, yeast, water, flour, and salt to the mixing bowl. I start with the lowest amount of flour and add as needed. Here in the South the humidity varies and that really effects the amount of flour that I need. Then mix using a dough hook attachment.
I like my dough to be slightly sticky but not so sticky I can't work with it.
Then I take the dough off of the dough hook and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While that is resting I mix the cinnamon sugar. I have made this with all regular sugar and all brown sugar but our favorite is half brown sugar and half white sugar. I have also tried to make this with Ceylon cinnamon and that give it almost a red hot candy flavor. If you like that you may prefer Ceylon cinnamon. Our favorite is just with the regular Cassia cinnamon you can get in the stores.
Cover the pan and let them rise until doubled in size or around 30-60 minutes
depending on how warm it is. While the dough is rising I make the icing. To the mixing bowl I add
softened cream cheese and whip 30 seconds. Then I add powdered sugar and mix 1 minute. Add
vanilla and enough milk/cream until the icing is the consistency you like!
After the dough has doubled in size. I bake mine in my small convection oven at 300 degrees for 5 minutes turn and bake 5 more minutes (Your baking time may vary depending on the appliance you are using) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let them cool five - ten minutes and serve with icing as a drizzle or a dip. Enjoy!

Melt the butter in a small bowl. Mix Cinnamon and sugar in small bowl. Put the dough on the
