Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by warming the milk until it's just warm to the touch. Combine it with sugar and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs and mix well to combine everything harmoniously.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth. Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
Once risen, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into individual rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly.
Prepare the glaze by mixing together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle this delicious glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
