Ingredients:
Dough:

1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
Filling:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping:
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup pearl sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the yeast mixture and egg to the dry ingredients. Then, pour in the milk and butter mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 3: Assemble the buns
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long edge.
Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
Place the buns in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each bun.
Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 4: Bake and top
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the buns. This will give them a nice golden color.
Sprinkle the pearl sugar on top, if using.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the buns are golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
