1cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon

4. In a different bowl mix together other 1/2 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon. Spread it evenly on rolled pastry sheet.
5. Starting from the edge near to you roll the pastry inward stopping in the middle of the sheet. Roll the opposite side of pastry inwards. The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching. Put one roll on the other as if closing a book
6. Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in the slices about 3/8 inch in thick. Lightly sprinkle sugar on each side. Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together so that it won't unroll in the baking process.
7. Place them on baking sheet cut side up, lined with parchment paper. Make sure to keep at least 1 inch space between each pastry pieces because they will increase in size dramatically.
8. Bake them for 5-6 minutes until caramelized and brown at bottom  then flip with spatula and again bake them for 3-5 minutes until caramelized on other side as well.
