What You’ll Need.

If you haven’t tried yeast-based recipes before when baking, don’t be intimated, it’s actually quite simple and fun. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make bubble bites at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details and instructions.

• All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in making the cinnamon roll dough.
• Granulated Sugar– Sugar adds a touch of sweetness to the dough.
• Rapid Rise Yeast– Look for the rapid rise yeast in the baking section of the grocery store. It’s a fast acting yeast.
• Salt– I generally use kosher salt for my cooking and baking.
• Milk– Use a 2% or higher milk for the recipe.
• Water– Warm water helps activate the yeast.
• Butter– I generally use salted butter for my recipes, unsalted works as well.
• Egg– For consistency, I use large eggs for my cooking and baking.
• Ground Cinnamon– Use a good quality ground cinnamon for the rolls.
• Powdered Sugar– Powdered sugar helps make the icing for the cinnamon rolls.
• Heavy Cream– Heavy cream is used to make the icing.

How To Make Cinnamon Roll Bubble Bites

Prepare Yeast and Dough. Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended.

Melt Butter. Combine milk, water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F. Butter won’t melt completely).

Egg. Add to flour mixture with egg.

Mix Dough, Add Flour. Mix 2 minutes at medium speed of stand mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball. Mix on low for 5-6 minutes.

Transfer Dough. Transfer dough to a lightly floured countertop.

Roll and Cut Dough. Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch in thickness. Cut into 20-24 pieces, close to the same size. Roll into balls.

Roll Dough Into Butter and Cinnamon/Sugar. Add melted butter to a medium bowl. Place sugar and cinnamon into a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Roll dough balls into melted butter, coating all sides, then into cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.

Place Dough Balls Into Baking Dish. Place all coated balls of dough, close together into a buttered 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Let Dough Rise. Place dish into a warm oven for 15-20 minutes, until dough has nearly doubled in size. Remove and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until baked through.

Prepare Icing. Place powdered sugar and heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl whisking until smooth. If too thick, add teaspoons of heavy cream to thin out. Drizzle love warm rolls and serve warm.

Recipe Tips For Success

Make Sure Butter Mixture Is To Temperature. Use a kitchen thermometer to make sure your water/butter mixture is to the correct temperature. This will help activate the yeast. Check any kitchen store, Walmart and Target for a thermometer. Amazon is always a good resource as well.

Make Sure Dough Rises. Once dough is rolled and placed into baking dish, make sure you give the dough time to double in size. I like to place the baking dish in a warm oven to help the process.

How To Serve

Serve cinnamon roll bites warm with icing on individual plates. They’re great for Holidays and really any occasion where dessert is being served.

Storage Instructions

Store bubble bites cooled in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
