1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and melted butter. Add the eggs and the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rise for 1 hour.
2
Make the Filling
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
3
Roll and Cut
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
4
Final Rise
Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until doubled in size.
5
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
6
Prepare Caramel Topping (Optional)
In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of milk over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour over the baked rolls.
7
Serve
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your caramel or cinnamon rolls warm!
