Ingredients 

Dough

  • 4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1 cup Milk warmed
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • cup Butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Eggs beaten

Filling

  • ½ cup Butter softened
  • 1 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and the yeast.
  2. 2. In a saucepan, heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt until warm (120-130°F) and butter is almost melted.
  3. 3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; add eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
  4. 4. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes).
  5. 5. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  6. 6. Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. 7. Roll dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over buttered dough.
  8. 8. Roll up dough, starting from a long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place slices in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30 minutes).
  9. 9. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
