In a cup, combine the active dry yeast, warm water, and 1 tsp of sugar. Stir well and set aside until foamy.

Roll up the dough tightly and pinch the edges together to seal.

Cut the rolled dough into 12 slices.

Coat the bottoms of a 13×9 inch baking pan and an 8-inch square pan with the remaining 1/2 cup of melted butter.

Sprinkle the bottom of the pans with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.

Place the cinnamon roll slices close together in the prepared pans.
