Method
Dough Preparation
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F) with sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and the yeast mixture. Add melted butter and eggs, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let it Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the butter and set aside.
Assembly and Baking
Roll the Dough
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Shape the Rolls
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Second Rise
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Icing Preparation
Make the Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Serving
Drizzle and Serve
Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing on top. Serve warm.
