1. Warm the water to lukewarm, about 110°F (43°C). Stir in the yeast and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the white sugar, then let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. Whisk in the nonfat dry milk powder, salt and vegetable oil. Add the flour gradually and mix until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.

5. Punch the dough down and roll it into a rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the top.

6. Mix the remaining white sugar with the ground cinnamon and sprinkle it over the butter.

7. Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, pinch the seam closed, and cut into 12 equal rolls.

8. Arrange the rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.

9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
