Instructions

Warm whole milk to about 110°F, then mix with yeast and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and spices. Add the frothy milk mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix well.
Knead the dough using a stand mixer or by hand until smooth (about 5 minutes).
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, mix softened butter with light brown sugar and spices to create the filling.
Roll out the dough, spread filling evenly, then roll up tightly to form a log and slice into individual rolls.
Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise again briefly before baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
