Ingredients
For the dough:
– 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 packet instant yeast
– ½ tsp salt
– ½ cup warm milk
– 1 egg
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 1 tbsp cinnamon
– ¼ cup butter, softened

For the tres leches sauce:
– ½ cup evaporated milk
– ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
– ½ cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze (optional):
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
1. Make the dough: Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, egg, and melted butter; knead until smooth. Let rise for 1 hour.
2. Roll & fill: Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll tightly, slice into 9-12 pieces, and place in a greased baking dish.
3. Second rise: Cover and let rolls rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
4. Soak: Mix tres leches ingredients. Pierce warm rolls with a fork and pour the sauce evenly over them. Let absorb for 10 minutes.
5. Glaze (optional): Whisk powdered sugar and milk, then drizzle.

Tips for Success
– Don’t overbake—keep rolls soft for soaking.
– For extra flavor, add a dash of nutmeg to the filling.
– Warm the tres leches sauce slightly for easier pouring.
