   • In a large bowl, combine warm water and dried yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and the water appears cloudy.

2. Mix the Dough:

   • Gradually add 6 cups of flour to the yeast mixture, stirring in the same direction. Allow the mixture to sit for 2 hours, covered. You’ll notice it has grown during this time.

3. Incorporate Sweetness:

   • Gently stir the dough, then add light brown sugar and salt, mixing well. Gradually add the remaining 6 cups of flour, one cup at a time, until the dough becomes too difficult to stir with a spoon.

4. Knead the Dough:

   • Transfer the dough to a well-floured workspace and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed. The dough should become smooth and elastic.

5. Let it Rise:

   • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, covering it with plastic wrap, and allow it to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until it doubles in size.

6. Prepare the Rolls:

   • Roll out the dough into a square approximately 24 inches long on a floured surface. Spread oil over the surface, then sprinkle with a mixture of dark brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

7. Shape and Cut:

   • Roll the dough into a log and cut it into about 24 equal pieces, each approximately 1 inch in length. Place them on parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

8. Final Rise:

   • Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

9. Preheat and Bake:

   • Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the rolls have risen, remove the plastic wrap and bake them in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.

10. Serve Warm:

    • For a soft top, cover the freshly baked buns with a cotton cloth for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy the irresistible aroma and taste of these classic cinnamon buns with your loved ones!
