- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 5 1/4 cups of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Incorporate 1/2 cup of cubed butter until pea-sized clumps form.
- Mix in the yeast mixture, 1 large beaten egg, and 2/3 cup of mashed bananas until a soft dough forms.

- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon; beat until creamy.
- Once risen, punch down the dough, roll it out to a 12x18 inch rectangle, spread filling, and layer 1 cup of sliced bananas before rolling tightly.
- Cut into 12 slices and place them in a greased 9x13 inch pan; cover and let rise for 20 minutes while preheating oven to 375°F.

Notes
For the best flavor, enjoy rolls fresh but store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze before icing for long-term enjoyment.
