Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- For topping: 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Roll tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter before serving.

Keywords: Ensure your milk is at the right temperature (about 110°F) to activate the yeast effectively. Knead the dough just enough to achieve smoothness without overworking it. For added flavor, consider incorporating chocolate chips or dried fruits into the dough before rolling.
