Make the Dough:

Warm milk in the microwave until lukewarm (not hot). Stir in yeast and let sit for 15 minutes until foamy.
In a stand mixer, combine milk mixture, softened butter, and sugar. Mix on medium speed.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in salt.
Add flour and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes, until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll into a 12″x18″ rectangle on a floured surface.
Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle brown sugar, coconut, and toffee bits evenly.
Roll tightly jelly-roll style, pinching the seam to seal.
Cut into 12 equal slices and place in a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
