  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make icing and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
  • These rolls can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
  • Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
