Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of instant yeast to the flour and stir.

Add 1/4 cup of granulated white sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl and stir again.

Pour in 1/2 cup of milk, add 1 large egg, and 3 tablespoons of melted salted butter.

Mix the ingredients using a spiral dough hook on a mixer for about 7 minutes until smooth.

Remove the dough from the mixer and form it into a ball.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, which may take 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on room temperature.

Flour a work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle.

Spread softened butter over the dough, using pats of butter to cover it evenly.

Sprinkle light brown sugar over the buttered dough, covering it well.

Sprinkle cinnamon over the brown sugar to taste.

Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other to form a log.

Cut the log into equal pieces using a knife or thread for clean cuts.

Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) diameter pan.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
