    1. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 60cm x 40cm rectangle.



    2. Spread with extra butter across 2/3 of the rectangle and evenly sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.



    3. Starting from the unbuttered end of the pastry, gently fold ⅓ of the dough towards the middle and gently flatten, fold the other side ⅓ towards the middle and gently flatten.



    4. Use a rolling pin and roll dough to 5mm thick.



    5. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 24 x 2cm wide strips; bring 3 strips together and pinch the top to join.



    6. Gently form these strips into a plait.



    7. Pick the plait up from the centre and manoeuvre into pan, twisting into a bun shape; this will give a decorative bun.
