- 1 packet (or 2 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg

Preparation Method Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and mix well.
- Add the egg and oil to the yeast mixture and mix well. Then gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once doubled, roll out the dough onto a floured surface to a rectangle shape.
- In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar together. Spread the mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Roll the dough into a tight cylinder shape and cut into 8 equal pieces. Place the rolls into a baking dish.
- Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
