Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour with the dry yeast and salt.
2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the condensed milk, cream, warm milk, and melted butter.
3. Form the dough: Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth dough.
4. Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is soft and elastic.
5. Rest the dough: Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape the Rolls

6. Prepare the filling: Mix the brown  sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
7. Roll out the dough: After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Add the filling: Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon  sugar mixture evenly over the top.
9. Roll and cut: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch slices.
10. Place on baking sheet: Place the rolls on a greased and floured baking sheet, leaving space between them. If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg yolk for a golden sheen after baking.

Step 3: Bake the Rolls

11. Preheat the  oven: Preheat the  oven to 180°C (350°F) while the rolls rest for 15-20 minutes.
12. Bake: Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 4: Prepare the Glaze

13. Make the glaze: In a bowl, mix powdered  sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
14. Glaze the rolls: Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
