2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional: nuts or raisins for garnish

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and yeast. Add melted butter and milk; knead until smooth.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface; spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the top. Roll up tightly to form a log.
Slice the log into pieces about 1 inch thick and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
