- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast; let sit until frothy. Stir in sugar, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add flour until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for an hour.
- Make the Filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Roll and Cut: From one edge, roll tightly into a log and slice into one-inch pieces.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish; allow to rise for another 30 minutes before baking for 25-30 minutes until golden.
