Let the dough sit in a warm place and rise for about 1 1/2 hours.

Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on to the dough.

Roll up the dough into a roll. Cut 1 inch thick rolls from the log of dough. (You should be able to cut about 12 from your rolPlace each into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about an hour. Before you bake brush more butter on the tops.

Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes or until the dough is done. Don't worry, the dough will still be a little bit "doughy" feeling but it is cooked.
