- Let it Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Create Filling: Mix sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl.
- Shape Rolls: Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (12×18 inches), spread the filling evenly, and sprinkle with funfetti.
