Decadent Sweet Crescent Rolls

1Combine the flour, sugar (1 tablespoon), yeast, and salt (1 teaspoon) in a large mixing bowl. Gently warm the milk (1 cup) to lukewarm and add it to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and eggs (2 large). Mix until a soft dough forms.

2Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3Prepare the sweet filling by mixing the brown sugar (1 cup), cinnamon, and softened butter in a bowl until well combined.

4Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.

5Spread the sweet filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges.

6Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.

7Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.

8Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the sweet rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

9While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar (1 cup), milk (2 tablespoons), and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until smooth.

10Remove the rolls from the oven and while still warm, drizzle them with the glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
