Dissolve yeast and one tablespoonful sugar in the lukewarm milk.  Add three-fourths cup flour to make sponge.  Beat well, cover and let rise forty-five minutes in moderately warm place.

Add butter and sugar creamed, egg well beaten, about one and one-fourth cups flour, or sufficient to make a soft dough, and the salt.  Knead lightly, place in greased bowl.  Cover and let rise in a warm place about two hours, or until double in bulk.

Roll one-half inch thick and place in well-greased pan and let rise until light — about an hour and a half.  Cut across top with sharp knife, brush with egg, sprinkle liberally with sugar and cinnamon.  Bake twenty minutes in a moderately hot oven.
