Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the foam, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add flour and salt to form a sticky dough.
  3. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.
  4. Mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and instant espresso powder for the filling. Set aside.
  5. When dough rises, punch it down and roll out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter and sprinkle filling over it.
  6. Tightly roll the dough into a log and slice into 12 pieces. Arrange in a greased baking dish and let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool.
