# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
02 - Sprinkle active dry yeast evenly over the dry mixture.
03 - Gently heat the milk until it reaches approximately 43°C and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir to combine and allow the yeast to activate.
04 - Incorporate melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the bowl.
05 - Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
06 - Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in volume.
07 - Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the filling.
08 - Gently deflate the risen dough to release excess air.
09 - On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 0.5 cm thick.
10 - Evenly distribute the cinnamon-brown sugar filling over the surface of the dough.
11 - Tightly roll the dough into a log and divide into 12 equal pieces.
12 - Grease a muffin tin and place each dough piece into the cups with the spiral side facing up.
13 - Cover the muffin tin with a towel and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
14 - Set the oven to 175°C and allow it to preheat.
15 - Brush the tops of the cruffins with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
16 - Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and risen.
17 - Let the cruffins rest in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a tray. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal dough texture.
02 - Do not overfill the dough with cinnamon mixture to avoid leaking during baking.
