Combine the active dry yeast with warm water and let sit until frothy.

In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, salt, melted butter, and eggs.

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix well.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Prepare the filling by mixing plain breadcrumbs, soft butter, vanilla extract, eggs, milk, and sugar/brown sugar.

Roll out the dough and spread the filling evenly on top.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into pieces.

Place the pieces in a greased baking dish lined with non-stick wax paper and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
