My friend Anita Hardesty sent this challenge to me:

Viewing the video, the recipe calls for frozen prepared dough. The dough is thawed and risen. Next, using a lame, the top of the loaf was slashed 4 times. The dough was rolled in melted butter on all sides and then rolled and coated in cinnamon sugar.
I decided to improve this recipe by making the dough from scratch. I used a rich dough recipe and set it aside to rise. Once doubled in size, the dough was divided and rolled out in 2 rectangles. With a light brushing of melted butter, the dough was sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. A melted butter bath and a cinnamon sugar dredge was prepared in separate pie pans.
The dough was rolled up to create a log. The seam was sealed and the ends tucked under. Then the top of the loaf was slashed and the loaf was rolled in melted butter and cinnamon sugar. The loaves rose for 45 minutes. The recipe comments stated the loaves may collapsed after baking and this is what happened for me. I repeated the recipe to improve the results. I reduced the size of the loaf by half. the loaves did not collapsed with the smaller loaves. I shared the loaves with my Monday Morning Prayer group and other friends.
