Mix yeast and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Wait 5–10 minutes for the yeast to froth.

Mix remaining ¼ cup sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups flour on low speed until combined. Damp dough.

Beat in the remaining flour ¼ cup at a time on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Line a slow cooker with oiled parchment.Roll rested dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter on top.

Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over butter.
