How to make

STEP 1

Combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, yeast and salt in large bowl.
STEP 2

Place 1 cup butter and milk in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat; let cool until very warm (120°F-135°F).
STEP 3

Add milk mixture and egg to flour mixture. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
STEP 4

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place into greased bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover; let rise in warm place 1-1 1/2 hours or until double in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
STEP 5

Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.
STEP 6

Punch down dough. Roll dough to 15x14-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Spread dough with 1/4 cup butter to within 1/2 inch of edges; sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, beginning with 15-inch side; seal seam well.
