1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm and the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Activate Yeast

   In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk mixture, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Prepare Filling

   In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
