Filling

Prepare the dough according to the dough recipe instructions and let it rise for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle
Spread the dulce de leche evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the dulce de leche
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log
Cut the log into equal rolls and arrange them in a greased baking dish or sheet pan, leaving a little space between each roll
Cover and let the rolls proof for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until puffy
For overnight rolls, cover and refrigerate for 8–12 hours, then let sit at room temperature for 45–60 minutes before baking
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and lightly golden
Let cool slightly before serving

Rising time may vary depending on room temperature, warmer kitchens will proof faster while colder ones may take longer
Do not overfill with dulce de leche or it may leak while baking
A round cake pan creates a pull-apart style, while a sheet pan gives more individual rolls
Warm leftovers slightly before serving for best texture
