90 minMix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, then stir in warm milk and butter along with an egg to form soft dough.
Knead five times, rest ten minutes, then roll into a rectangle and slather with cinnamon-brown sugar butter.
Roll it up, slice into twelve rounds, nestle them in greased muffin tins, and let rise twenty minutes over a pan of boiling water for extra steam.
Bake until browned and serve warm with all that cinnamon-sugar goodness spiraling through each pull-apart bite.
Kitchen Tips
- Heat milk mixture to 105-115°F (warm to touch but not hot) for optimal yeast activation
- Roll dough gently into 12×9 rectangle to keep filling distribution even
- Rising over boiling water creates steam that speeds proofing in just 20 minutes
