Set aside until dough is doubled in size, about 1 hr.Step 2
Filling: Meanwhile, stir butter with brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.Step 3
Grease a 9x13-in. (23x32-cm.) baking pan with some butter. Roll risen dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x14 in. (30x35 cm.) rectangle. Spread filling evenly over dough to edges. With the long edge facing you, tightly roll up dough in jelly roll fashion. Use a serrated knife to cut crosswise into 12 rounds. Arrange rolls, cut-side down, in prepared pan. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise until doubled, 1 hr.Step 4
Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 160°C (325°F).Step 5
Bake rolls until just golden, about 25 mins. Transfer to a rack and let stand 5 mins.Step 6
