Creating Classic Ensaymada Bread is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and add softened butter and the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread softened butter over the surface.
8. Add Sugar: Sprinkle sugar evenly over the buttered surface. Optionally, add grated cheese if desired.
9. Roll the Dough: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
10. Cut into Pieces: Slice the log into 1-inch pieces and lay them in a greased baking dish.
11. Second Rise: Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Brush with Butter: Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
15. Cool: Allow to cool in the pan for about 15-30 minutes before serving.
