Prepare the Dough:

Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, water, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead:
   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
4. Rise:
   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Honey Butter Filling:
6. Mix Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.

Assemble the Honey Buns:
7. Roll Out the Dough:
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12×16-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

8. Spread Filling:
   Evenly spread the honey butter filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
9. Shape Buns:
   Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them cut side up in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
10. Second Rise:
    Cover and let the buns rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffed.

Bake the Honey Buns:
11. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
