Preparation

Step 1

In a small pot gently warm the milk along with 1/2 c butter,1/2 c brown sugar,vanilla and salt
Don't bring to a simmer,warm just enough to melt the buttrer
Meanwhile measure half the flour into the bowl wth the yeast
Add the warm,mel;ted butter mixture to the flour
Beat with the paddle attachment until smooth
Add the eggs one at a time,beating until smooth before proceeding
Switch to a dough hook and add the remaining flour
Knead until a soft dough form that is no longer sticky to the touch-about 5 min
Rest the dough in a warm place,covered in a lightly oiled bowl untilit doubles in size-1-2 hours
Knock the dough down AND REST FOR A FEW MINUTES
Mix the soft butter with 1 c brown sugar and the cinnamon
Flour your work surace,the dough,your hands and the rolling pin
Roll the dough into a long rectangular shape,about 132x18"
Evenly spread the butter mixture over thetop leaving an inch or two uncovered along one long edge.
This will help form a seal
Roll tightly into a long cigar shape from the covered long edge to the uncovered
Brush the outside of the log with melted butter
Slice the log into 12 or 16 sections
Turn each on its side and position evenly in an appropritely sized oiled pan
Rest,uncovered until the dough doubles in size again and the rolls swell into each other
Preheat the oven to 350
Bake 40-45 min
Whe the rolls have cooled enough to handle stir together the glaze ingredients and drizzle all over them
