Dough Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (not boiling). Remove from heat, add yeast, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.

  6. 6

    Roll and Fill

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.

  7. 7

    Shape the Rolls

    Starting from one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

  8. 8

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
