Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F) with the active dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter (let it cool slightly if hot), and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. If using, stir in the chopped nuts and raisins.

  2. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 16x24 inches.

  3. 7

    Add Filling

    Spread melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

  4. 8

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder. Cut into 12 equal pieces.

Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare Topping

    In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until combined and smooth. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

Baking

  1. 10

    Arrange Rolls

    Place the cut rolls in the baking dish on top of the topping. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  2. 11

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 12

    Bake Rolls

    Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
