Form the dough into a ball and replace into metal bowl to prove 45 mins at 30c
3
Gently turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Flatten and shape into a large rectangle twice as long as wide, and 3-5mm thick.
4
Spread the softened butter, then sprinkle over the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up the dough along the longest side to the opposite side - like a Swiss Roll. Cut the roll of dough, length ways in half. Turn the dough to have the cut surface facing up, then lay one piece over the other to make a cross/X. Twist strand over strand, then join both ends of the “X”.
