6. Transfer the dough to a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
7. Place your hands underneath the dough and fold it over onto itself, turn the bowl and repeat the folds by at least 6 more times until the dough is in one large mound and flipped on the reverse side.

4. Brush the dough with the melted butter and evenly coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Starting on either side, roll the dough into a tight cylinder and use scissors to cut the dough into 12 equal rolls.
6. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and remove the plastic wrap.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the rolls are puffed and golden.
