Directions: 

1. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt into mixing bowl. Add the milk and butter into a smaller bowl to be warmed in the microwave until butter is melted. Add the milk and butter to the dry ingredients along with the egg. Mix ingredients on medium-low until the dough is smooth. Let dough rest while you make the filling. 

2. Combine sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon into a bowl together. Soften butter for filling so that it can spread easily. 

3. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 12'' by 8.'' Spread filling butter across the dough evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mix onto the dough. Roll the dough from the long sides of rectangle and cut into evenly sized rolls. Place into dutch oven (evenly spaced) and bake for 45 minutes.
