  4. PRO TIP: COVER YOUR MIXER WITH A CLEAN DISH TOWEL.
  5. Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on speed 3-4 (low to medium).
  6. Let it go for 5-7 minutes, you want the dough to become a ball that doesn’t stick to the walls of the bowl.

  8. Take the dough out, grease the stand mixer bowl and put it back in.

  13. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/2-inch thick (if your space is limited do this in two halves).
  14. The dough rectangle should be about 12 x 18 inches.
  15. Spread the butter over the dough (you can use you hands) and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the butter.
  16. Cut the dough into 4 even, long strips, about 3 inches wide.
  17. Start rolling one piece, then place it into the center of a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
  18. Roll the additional strips around the center piece making one large roll.
