At a glance
You're looking at about two and a half hours of total time to create these Swedish cinnamon buns—mostly waiting for the dough to rise twice, with some hands-on work mixing, shaping, and slicing. The good news is that these beauties stay fresh and delicious for days, so your effort really pays off, and the whole process is pretty straightforward even for bakers who are just getting comfortable in the kitchen.

Rising
Cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise. This will take about an hour, by which time it should have doubled in size.

Cinnamon filling
Melt the butter and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. By the time your dough has finished rising, the butter and sugar mixture will have firmed up a little again - don't worry, it will have just the right consistency for spreading over the dough.
