Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Activate Yeast: Combine warm water and granulated sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the top and let sit for 10-15 minutes until frothy.

  3. First Rise: Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

  5. Prepare Topping: Melt butter in a saucepan until golden, then mix in light brown sugar and cinnamon.
