Preparation Steps

  4. Knead the dough on a floured countertop until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  5. Let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼-inch thick.
  7. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  8. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 10 equal pieces.
  9. Place the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
