directions

1. Dots: Pour the warm water into a mixing bowl and dissolve it in the sugar and yeast.
2. When the yeast begins to bubble, add in your first cup of flour, then the oil and salt.
3. Add another 3 cups of flour, mixing with a large spoon until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and holds together.
4. Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of flour onto your kneading suface and turn out the dough and knead until it begins to stick together well.
5. Add only enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers and to the board.
6. Continue to knead until the relaxed dough feels smooth and springy.
7. You may need to add additional flour.
8. Form the dough into a ball, and place it in a greased bowl, be sure to turn the dough in the bowl so that the top is greased as well.
9. Cover it and put it in a warm area away from drafts.
10. Allow dough to double in size.
11. This should take at least 45 minutes, maybe more, maybe less depending on the temperature of your room.
12. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
13. Prepare cinnamon sugar mix in a bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar and mix well.
14. Shape dough into small balls approximately 1 inch in size.
15. Brush dough lightly with melted margarine, and dip into your cinnamon/sugar mix.
16. Place coated balls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
17. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
18. Icing: Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.

Great detailed instructions, but the cinnamon sugar candied to the bottom of the pan creating bottoms of the dots that were as hard as rocks. Too much work for poor results, i wouldnt make this one again.

While I haven't made this recipe, I did work at Domino's for many years. The prep on this is much harder than it needs to be - remember Domino's is a FAST food chain! Definitely do not put the sugar/cinnamon on before baking. We just rolled dough into a long skinny log shape, using a pizza wheel - lop of about equal chunks. Dump into a parchment lined pan, squirt haphazardly with Whirl (butter-flavored oil) - you can get something very similar at Smart N Final. When it comes out of the oven, dump out of pan and sprinkle immediately.

This was very easy to make.The first time I halved the recipe, the second time I made the full recipe.Both were successful. I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil. After reading the comments about the hardened sugar and cinnamon at the bottom of the pan, I arranged the dough balls as I would cinnamon rolls (touching- not too smushed up against eachother) and then brushed with the margarine and sprinkled with the cinnamon and sugar. I was still careful though not to let too much sugar end up on the bottom of the pan. The half recipe fit into two 8 inch pans nicely. I dont remember for how long I baked them or at what temp because I am in Yemen now and the ovens have one setting -high! Peace

This is good when it's corrected a bit: First off, do not put the cinnamon sugar on before cooking! This will lead to the candied bottoms that the previous reviewer mentioned, I would think. Secondly, I had to alter the oven temp to 375, and cooked them for 25 minutes. I also brushed them with butter before cooking, then afterwards I dunked them in a bowl of melted butter, then dumped them into a bowl of the cinnamon sugar and shook them around until coated. Whatever cinnamon and sugar was left, I dumped over them. With these modifications, I'll repeat the recipe.
