Ingredients
  

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter softened,
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Activate the Yeast

  • Whisk the yeast into warm milk in your large bowl and let it sit for five minutes until frothy. This ensures your yeast is active, which is the secret to fluffy, airy, and beautiful dough today.

Make the Dough

  • Mix in the sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs until combined. Gradually add your flour, mixing until a soft dough forms, then knead it on a floured surface until smooth and elastic tonight.

Let it Rise

  • Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot. Wait about one hour or until the dough has doubled in size and looks very puffy today.

Roll the Dough

  • Roll your risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter evenly across the entire surface, leaving a small edge, to prepare for your sweet cinnamon filling today.

Fill and Roll

  • Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough. Roll the dough up tightly into a log and cut it into twelve even, perfect and beautiful pieces.

Bake the Rolls

  • Place your cut rolls into a greased baking pan and let them rise again for thirty minutes today. Bake at 180°C for twenty-five minutes until they are golden brown, soft and smelling absolutely incredible tonight.

Glaze and Serve

  • Whisk your powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pour it generously over the hot, fresh rolls. Let the glaze soak into the warm layers before you serve them to your very hungry family.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days total today. You can freeze your baked rolls wrapped tightly in plastic for up to one month in the freezer tonight.
Reheat them in the microwave for twenty seconds to get that soft, warm and freshly baked texture back again. Keep your container away from direct sunlight to ensure the glaze stays perfect and does not melt away.
Always warm them up slightly before serving if they have been sitting out for a few hours today.
