8. Once the bread is doubled in size divide the dough and roll it into 22 balls. 

9. Dip/roll each ball in the melted butter and then the sugar mixture. Place the balls in the prepared skillet. If any of the sugar mixture is left you can sprinkle it over the balls. Let the balls rest for 1/2 hour.

10. Place the skillet in a preheated oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees F.
