Special equipment needed:
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
- 9-inch square baking dish

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. In a small saucepan, heat milk and melted butter until warm (about 110°F).
3. Add warm milk mixture and egg to the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.
4. Increase speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
7. In a small bowl, mix guava jelly, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

9. Spread softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Spread guava jelly mixture evenly over the butter.
11. Starting at the long edge, tightly roll up the dough and pinch the seam to seal.
12. Cut the roll into 9 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
13. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
