Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Black food coloring (optional for decoration)
Candy eyes or chocolate chips (for spooky faces)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add egg, flour, and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter over it, and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
Decorate: Use black food coloring to create spooky designs on the rolls. Add candy eyes or chocolate chips to make ghostly faces.
