Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small bowl, soften yeast in warm water. In large bowl, mix flour, 1 1/2 TBSP sugar and salt. Cut in 1/2 C butter as for pastry. Combine milk, egg yolk and softened yeast. Add to flour mixture; mix well. Cover; chill until firm enough to handle ( at least 2 hours). Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Punch down; cover with cloth and let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into rectangle (10X18"); spread with 2 TBSP softened butter. In cup, whisk together 1/2 C sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over dough. Roll as for jelly roll, sealing edge. The roll should be 18" long. Cut into one-inch slices. In a bowl, whisk together remaining 2 C sugar and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon; spread on large square of waxed paper or aluminum foil. Place slices, one at a time, on sugar mixture; roll into 5-inch rounds. Place on ungreased cookie sheets lined with parchment or Silpat; brush with melted butter and sprinkle with about 1 tsp cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake in preheated oven 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks
