Making the Rolls

  2. Mix the Dough: Add softened butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Incorporate flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Dust a surface with flour, transfer dough, and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  5. Prepare the Filling: Roll out dough into a large rectangle, spread with butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Roll and Cut the Dough: Roll tightly into a log and cut into 12 pieces, placing them in a greased baking dish.
  7. Second Rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for 30-40 minutes in a warm place while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Glaze Preparation: Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
