Step By Step Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in a 1?4 cup of the hot milk (110°F) and set aside. In a large bowl mix the milk, sugar, melted butter, and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and the salt, mix until smooth. Add yeast/milk mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on a floured surface for around 5 to 8 minutes, or until smooth Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, usually 2 – 3 hours. When the dough has doubled in size, punch the down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Mix the melted butter with the cinnamon and sugar and spread the mixture evenly over the rolled dough. Beginning at the 15-inch side, roll up the dough. Cut into 12 slices and place them about 2 inches apart in a greased 13×9 pan. Let rise until dough is doubled (about 45 minutes to an hour) Bake on 350°F (175°C) for 20 – 30 minutes or until golden brown. Prepare the glaze and spread over the warm buns before serving.
