  7. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  8. Spread room temperature butter on dough, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, and layer thin banana slices on top.
  9. Roll up tightly from one edge and slice into approximately 12 equal pieces.
  10. Place rolls in a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 30 minutes.
