Steps


In a large bowl , stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar into the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes.
Stir in milk , melted butter , 1 / 3 cup sugar , salt and 1 cup flour.
Beat with a spoon or an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually stir in 1 1 / 2 cups flour , keeping the dough smooth.
If the dough is still moist , stir in 1 tablespoon flour at a time to make a soft dough.
Cover with a dry cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk , about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350.
Divide the raised dough in half.
On a lightly oiled board , roll out and stretch 1 piece of dough to make a 12-by-8-inch rectangle.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the soft butter over the top of the dough.
Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Beginning on the long side , roll up tightly , jelly-roll fashion.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Cut the dough into 2-inch slices.
Place on greased and floured baking sheets.
