Dough Preparation
- Pour warm milk into a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the active dry yeast. Let sit for 3-5 minutes until frothy.

- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise

Filling Preparation

Second Rise
- Place rolls in the prepared pan, cover loosely with a cloth. Let rise for another 45 minutes or until puffy and touching.
