Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: Combine warm milk with active dry yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix Dough Ingredients: Whisk together melted butter, sugar, and beaten eggs. Stir in yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt until soft dough forms.
  3. Knead Dough: Turn onto a clean surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare Filling: Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  6. Roll Dough: Punch down risen dough, roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick, spread softened butter, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Shape Rolls: Roll dough tightly into a log, slice into 12 pieces, and place in a greased baking dish.
  8. Second Rise: Cover rolls with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
