First, we mix warm milk and yeast.
- Milk: 200 ml
- Dry yeast: 12 g

Beat room temperature eggs with a mixer until fluffy.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
3
Then add beaten eggs, 0.5 cup of sugar, 15 g of vanilla sugar, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter (which can be softened in the microwave) to the milk and yeast; it should be softened but not liquid.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Sugar: 1.5 glass
- Vanilla sugar: 30 g
- Butter: 200 g
4
Add flour and salt to the milk mixture and gently knead the dough; it should stop sticking to your hands and be soft in consistency. If there's not enough flour, you can add a little more, but don't overdo it, or the dough will be tough when baked.
- Wheat flour: 4 glasss
- Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
5
Cover the dough with a towel and leave it in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.
6
Then we sprinkle the table with flour and roll the dough into a rather thin layer.
- Wheat flour: 4 glasss

Grease the dough with softened butter (about 4 tablespoons) and generously sprinkle with a mixture of 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon, distributing evenly over the entire dough.
- Butter: 200 g
- Sugar: 1.5 glass
- Cinnamon: 6 tablespoons

Roll tightly into a roll, don't be afraid to do it tightly, the pastries will be tender and won't fall apart.
9
Cut the roll with a very sharp knife, without crushing the cinnamon, into slices 2-3 cm thick. Line the form with parchment paper and place the buns in it. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 30 minutes.
