Dissolve the yeast cake and add one Tbsp of the sugar and the salt and
enough flour to stiffen to a sponge. Let rise for one hour, then add the
rest of the ingredients, using enough sifted flour to make a soft sponge.
Let rise again, then roll out dough on a floured board and cover with a
mixture of 4 Tbsp sugar, 4 Tbsp butter and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Roll like a
jelly roll and cut in 2 inch pieces. Place on well-greased pans and let
rise for a third time, then bake at 400-F for 20 minutes. Source:
