Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk with granulated sugar and sprinkle in active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Blend in flour, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add melted butter until a soft dough forms.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled.
Punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle, brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, roll tightly, and slice into 12 pieces.
Arrange prepared pieces in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Brush tops with melted butter while warm. Cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Adjust sugar levels based on your taste preference.
Make sure the yeast is fresh for best results.
For vegan options, use egg replacers and plant-based milk.
