# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1/4 cup white sugar
02 -
4 cups plain flour
03 -
2 teaspoons yeast (active dry)
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1 teaspoon table salt
06 -
1 cup milk, warmed to about 110°F

2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring

→ Topping

1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
10 -
1/4 cup white sugar
11 -
1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a big bowl, stir together the warm milk, white sugar, and yeast. Leave it alone for 5-10 minutes till it gets foamy. Toss in the butter, vanilla, eggs, and salt. Add the flour bit by bit until the dough is soft.
02 -
Dust a surface with flour and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes till it's smooth and stretchy. Pop it into a greased bowl, cover it up, and let it rest for 1-2 hours so it can puff up, doubling in size.
03 -
Flatten the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread melted butter on top and sprinkle over the cinnamon-sugar mix. Roll it tightly like a log, then slice it into 12 even pieces.
04 -
Grease a baking dish and place the rolls inside. Cover them and let them sit another 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush butter on while still warm.
# Additional Tips:
