Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm milk with active dry yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the Dough Ingredients: Combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt in a mixing bowl, then stir in the yeast mixture.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes.

  5. Prepare the Filling: Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl for the filling.
  6. Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the dough, roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough.
  7. Add Filling and Slice: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough, then roll tightly and cut into 12 pieces.
  8. Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
