2.Liberally dust work surface with flour, and roll bread dough into a ½” thick rectangle.
3.Evenly spread butter over dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Use your spatula or knife to evenly distribute the sugar and cinnamon over the surface.
4.Roll dough lengthwise into a long cylinder, then slice into 12 even pieces. (Cut cylinder in half, then cut each half into thirds, then cut each third in half.)
5.Place one dough spiral into each muffin tin, with the spiral facing up. Sprinkle each cinnamon bun with about ½ tsp. of brown sugar if desired.
