Warm the milk and dissolve the sugar. Stir in yeast and let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy and active.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms.

Knead for 8–10 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic. Add flour as needed — the dough should feel soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Set aside — you’ll use this later when coating the dough bites.

Punch down the dough and knead for 30 seconds to release air.

Divide into 6 smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a small log, then slice into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch thick).

Place pieces in a large bowl, pour in half of the melted butter, and toss gently.

Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough and toss to coat.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Arrange bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 20–25 minutes, until puffy.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through.

While still warm, drizzle the remaining melted butter over the bites and toss with any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
