- 3Add 2 1/4 teaspoons (or one packet) of yeast to the milk and sugar mixture.
- 4Stir the mixture briefly.

- 6Add 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of melted butter to the foamy yeast mixture.
- 7Add one room temperature egg to the mixture.
- 8Mix everything together.
- 9Add one teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
- 10Add 3 1/2 cups of bread flour to the bowl.
- 11Mix all ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
- 12Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface.
- 13Lightly flour your hands.
- 14Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it forms a nice, smooth, and stretchy ball.
- 15Spray a clean bowl with oil.
- 16Place the dough into the oiled bowl, swirling it around to coat, then flip it over.
- 17Cover the bowl lightly with plastic wrap or a towel.
- 18Let the dough rise until it doubles in size, approximately an hour.
- 19While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon butter by adding two sticks of softened salted butter to a clean bowl.

- 26Gently push the risen dough down in the center.
- 27Take the dough out of the bowl and press it into a rectangle about a quarter of an inch thick on your clean surface.
- 28Cut the dough into equal pieces using a pizza cutter.
- 29Place the cut dough pieces onto the greased cookie sheet, leaving space for them to rise.
- 30Cover the dough pieces with a towel.
- 31Let them rise for another 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or until they become puffy again.
- 32Bake the risen rolls in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 minutes.
