Don't freak, during the bread cycle, this dough is very sticky and loose.

It will get more structure towards the end of cycle during the final rise.

Afterwards, cut in half, roll into 2 balls

Spray plastic wrap with non stick

Cover with plastic and towel and let rise 15 minutes

Butter 2 loaf pans

Shape the loaves by pressing into rectangular 

Rectangle should be as long as bread pan 

Roll like cinnamon rolls
