Rolling Technique
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Layering
- Spread softened butter over the rolled dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Cutting and Filling
- Cut the dough into rectangles, place your filling at one end, roll tightly, and tuck the ends under.
Preparing the Muffin Tin

Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cooling
