Stir until everything is dissolved.

Add granulated sugar and then sprinkle yeast on top, mixing it in.

Mix the dough on low speed until combined, then increase to high speed for 10-15 minutes until gluten develops.

Perform a pull test to check gluten development, then remove dough from the mixer.

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside to proof for about 90 minutes.

Prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing brown sugar, room temperature butter, cinnamon, and optional salt for 5-7 minutes until creamy.

Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough and roll it tightly into a log.

Cut the log into jumbo-sized rolls and place them in the prepared pan.
