- Now sprinkle 1 cup of sugar evenly over the dough.
- Next, sprinkle cinnamon generously over the sugar.
- Starting from the far side, start rolling the dough as tightly as you can towards you.
- When you get nearly to the end, stop rolling and carefully pull the dough edge up and pinch it to the roll.
