How to Make the Dough:
1. Warm 180 ml of milk over low heat until it reaches a temperature where you can comfortably hold your little finger in it for about 7 seconds.
If the milk is too hot, it will kill the yeast; if it’s not warm enough, the yeast won’t activate.

2. Transfer the warm milk to a bowl, add 25 g white sugar and 7 g dry yeast, and let it sit for 10 minutes to activate.
Signs of activation: a foamy brown layer full of bubbles and the aroma of bread.

3. Meanwhile, mix 360 g bread flour with 25 g brown sugar and 4 g salt.

4. Once the yeast is activated, add 57 g melted butter, the egg, yolk, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional). Stir in three-quarters of the flour mixture, mixing with a spoon.

5. Add the remaining flour and continue mixing until the dough loses excess moisture. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Assembling the Rolls:
1. After 1 hour, transfer the risen dough to a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle.
2. Spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough, then cover it with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
3. Fold the dough from both sides toward the center and roll it out again with a rolling pin.
4. Shape into knots or rolls as desired, place them on a baking tray with space between each, cover, and let rest for another 1 hour in a warm place.

Baking:
1. Brush the rolls with milk at room temperature.
2. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes.
3. Immediately after removing from the oven, while still hot, brush with melted butter.
