Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 package of active dry yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Brush the dough with 1/4 cup of melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Roll up the dough jelly-roll style, starting from the long side. Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the pieces cut side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
