Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
2
Add the melted butter, eggs, flour, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Brush the dough with the melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
7
Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12-15 equal pieces.
8
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
9
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
10
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve warm.
