Roll dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter onto rectangle and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and cut into 3/4 to 1-inch slices. Place slices on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheets with a 1/2-inch space between each. Cover loosely and let rise for 45 minutes.
