Mix warm milk, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. This shows the yeast is active and ready.

Add flour, salt, melted butter and egg into the yeast mixture. Mix until dough forms. Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and soft.

Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour. The dough should double in size for fluffy rolls.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread softened butter on rolled dough later. This creates sweet and rich flavor inside the rolls.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle using a rolling pin. Make sure it is even and not too thick for proper baking.

Spread butter over the rolled dough. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly on top. Press lightly so filling sticks well and does not fall out.

Roll the dough tightly from one side. Cut into equal slices using a sharp knife. Place them in a greased baking dish.

Cover the rolls and let them rest for 20 minutes. This makes them soft and fluffy after baking. Do not skip this step.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. The smell will be sweet and warm during baking.

Mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Pour over warm cinnamon rolls for a sweet finishing touch.

Let rolls cool slightly before serving. Drizzle icing on top and enjoy soft, gooey cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven.
