In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine lukewarm milk and dry yeast, letting it sit until frothy.

Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients along with soft butter and eggs, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Roll the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over the surface.

Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the buttered dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal slices.

Place the slices in a greased baking dish and let rise until doubled in size.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Mix powdered sugar with melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to create icing.

Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
