Instructions

In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, softened butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually mix in bread flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
For the filling, mix light brown sugar with ground cinnamon.
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
Roll tightly into a log, cut into pieces, twist each piece, and place them in a baking dish.
Allow to rest for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush with beaten egg before baking for about 20 minutes until golden.
