Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in 2 tablespoons of warm water and let stand 5 min. In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup of hot water then whisk in the melted I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.
Attach the dough hook to the stand mixer then add in the 2 tablespoons of beaten egg, 1 1/3 cups of whole wheat pastry flour, and the yeast mixture, then beat until smooth.
Add one cup of the all purpose flour and beat again. Add remaining flour and continue mixing until the dough comes together.
Place the dough in greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides, then cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 2 hours.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the brown sugar and whipping then bring it to a simmer. Pour sauce into a 9x12” baking pan.

Remove the dough from the bowl and roll it out into 12x18 rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the top of the dough with the 3 tablespoons of melted butter for the filling.
Mix together the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the dough.
Tightly roll the dough from the long side like you would a jelly roll. Slice the rolled dough into 1 inch slices. Place the slices cut side up into the 9x12 baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it has doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 375° F. for 20-25 min, until golden. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a serving platter or cookie sheet. Cool slightly before serving.
