Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix in melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and salt.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing until you form a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
Filling and Shaping
  1. Roll the risen dough into a rectangle, around ½-inch thick.
  2. Spread softened unsalted butter over the surface, followed by brown sugar and ground cinnamon mixture.
  3. Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other and slice into 12 even pieces.
  4. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
Rising and Baking
  1. Cover rolls and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Glazing
  1. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over warm cinnamon rolls after they cool slightly.

Notes

For best results, use fresh yeast and allow proper rising times to achieve fluffy rolls. Cool slightly before glazing and use a sharp knife for clean slicing to maintain swirl.
