form a stiff dough. Turn out on a floured boardl; knead until smooth and
satiny, approximately 10 minutes. (Or place in the bowl of an electric
mixer and knead with a dough hook until the dough cleans the sides of the
bowl, approximately 5 minutes.) Place the dough in a very large buttered
bowl, turn to butter the top, and allow to rise, covered loosely with a
kitchen towel, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, approximately 1 hour.
Punch the dough down and roll out to a large rectangle, 24x36". Butter two
9x13" glass baking dishes. Filling: Beat together the brown sugar, butter
and cinnamon until well combined. Spread evenly over the surface of the
dough. Roll up lengthwise and cut at 2" intervals to make 12 rolls. Place 6
rolls in each buttered dish. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and allow
to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350ø. Bake
the rolls for about 2030 minutes or until puffed and browned. Cool to room
