Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk (110°F)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. Pour in the melted butter, warm milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it according to your desired recipe.
6. For cinnamon rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread a layer of softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar on top. Roll it up tightly and slice it into individual rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish and let them rise for about 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. For sweet rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread a layer of softened butter and your favorite sweet filling, such as jam or Nutella. Roll it up tightly and slice it into individual rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish and let them rise for about 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. For sweet bread: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Allow it to rise for about 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
