Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk mixture and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the yeast mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead and Rise
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Cinnamon Filling
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of softened butter. Mix until well combined.

Shape the Rolls
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
