2. 2

   Microwave the milk and butter for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Whish together until the butter melts. (Milk should be warm not too hot.)

3. 3

   Whisk in the sugar, yeast, and 1/4 cup of flour. Add the eggs and mix well. Pour mixture into the bowl of a Kitchen Aid Mixer and stir in the remaining flour and salt. Knead 7 minutes. Let rise for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer dough onto a working surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold dough in half.

5. 5

   Roll into a 23x15-inch rectangle.

6. 6

   Spread the butter over the surface leaving a border on the bottom half (for sealing later.)

7. 7

   Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the butter and roll the filling gently over the dough to compress the cinnamon sugar filling.

8. 8

   Roll the cinnamon dough into a log starting at the widest part down to the unfilled border. Pinch edges shut.

9. 9

   Slice into 2-inch pieces and place onto a lined 9x13 baking dish. Allow rolls to rise for 10 minutes. Bake in a pre-heated 350°F for 25 minutes.
