3. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Fill: Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
