Step 4: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Keep the butter soft and spreadable—this helps the filling melt beautifully into the dough.

Step 5: Roll Out the Dough

Once risen, gently punch down the dough and roll it into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.

Step 6: Roll and Slice

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to slice the log into even rolls.

Arrange them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 7: Second Rise – The Magic Moment

Cover the rolls again and let them rise for 30–45 minutes. They should puff up and touch each other—this is what creates those soft, pull-apart sides.

Step 8: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven until the rolls are lightly golden on top and baked through. The kitchen will smell absolutely incredible at this stage—pure comfort.

Step 9: Make the Glaze

While the rolls bake, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency to your liking.

Step 10: Glaze and Enjoy

Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls so it melts into every swirl. Serve immediately for the ultimate comforting experience.
