Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add flour, salt, and melted butter to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Punch down the risen dough, roll it out into a rectangle, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture, then roll it up tightly.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place rolled dough into an oiled baking pan, press dimples into the top with fingers, and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
