Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  6. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts if desired.
  7. Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough and pinch the edges to seal.
  8. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  9. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Be patient with the rising process to ensure soft and fluffy rolls.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the filling according to your preference.
