  1. Make the dough: Whisk warm water and yeast together in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over top and whisk until well incorporated. Set aside until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 20 minutes.

  2. Combine warm milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, eggs, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add yeast mixture and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Mix in 4 cups flour on medium speed until dough is completely smooth, about 5 minutes.

  4. Grease another large bowl. Place dough into the greased bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

  7. Roll dough out onto a well-floured surface, forming a 15x20-inch rectangle. Brush the entire surface with remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, then sprinkle filling mixture over top. Starting at the long end, tightly roll dough over filling and pinch the edges together to seal. Use dental floss to cut roll into 18 pieces.
