Pillowy Cinnamon Roll Spirals
Pillowy Cinnamon Roll Spirals are fluffy, tender, and laced with a buttery cinnamon-brown sugar swirl in every bite. The dough bakes up light and soft, while the filling melts into a fragrant, slightly caramelized center. Perfect for cozy weekend breakfasts or a special brunch spread, they’re best enjoyed warm with your favorite coffee or tea.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with the sugar, salt, egg, and 1 cup flour; stir well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Spread the dough with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll the dough up along the long edge to form a log. Cut the log into 16 equal pieces and arrange them in the pan, cut side up.
