A slightly warm oven (turned off) can be a good spot for the dough to rise.

Make sure the butter is truly soft, but not melted, for an even spread.
4
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 40x50 cm (16x20 inches). Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border at one long edge.

Use a ruler or measuring tape to get an even rectangle for uniform rolls.

Starting from the long edge opposite the border, carefully roll up the dough tightly into a log. Once rolled, gently pinch the seam to seal it. Cut the log into approximately 12-14 equal pieces, about 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6 inches) thick, using a sharp knife or dental floss.

For cleaner cuts, use unflavored dental floss by sliding it under the log and crossing the ends over to slice.
