Combine yeast with warm water (about 37 degrees Celsius) and let it rest for 10 minutes until bloomed.

On a clean surface, place flour and make a well in the middle for the wet ingredients.

Add the bloomed yeast mixture and melted butter to the flour and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it looks like dough and is well combined.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1 centimeter thick.

Mix softened butter with cinnamon and sugar, then spread it evenly over the dough, leaving a small edge for sealing.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, sealing the edge.

Cut the log into 6 rolls using dental floss or string to maintain their shape.

Place the rolls in a pan with space to expand and proof in a cold oven with a heatproof dish of boiling water underneath for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius (410 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the rolls for 6-7 minutes until golden brown.

Let the rolls cool, then make the glaze by combining icing sugar with about 10 millilitres of water and any desired flavoring.

Pour the glaze over the cooled rolls.
