Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Mix *warm milk* and *yeast* in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Add *sugar*, *salt*, and the *egg* to the mixture, stirring well until everything is dissolved.

Add *softened butter* and gradually mix in the *flour* until you achieve a *soft dough* consistency. Knead the dough on a well-floured surface until it becomes *smooth and elastic*.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In a separate small bowl, mix *softened butter* and *sugar* to taste. Use a generous amount to ensure the center of the rolls are rich and flavorful.

Step 3

Assemble the Rolls

Roll the dough out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the *butter and sugar* mixture evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge, then cut it into even slices to create individual rolls.

Step 4

Bake the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the rolls on a lined or greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll for rising.

Bake for *30 minutes* or until the rolls are *golden brown* and the filling is melted and bubbly.

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
