Recipe
Mix and knead. Put the dough in a greased bowl, turn over once to coat with oil. Let rise until double in size (approximately 1 hour.) Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half on a lightly floured board. Generously spread butter over the rolled surface covering the entire circle. Spread a cinnamon and sugar mixture over this. Roll into a log and place in a circle on a cookie sheet overlapping the edges. Cut slits every 2 inches or so. Cover with a tea towel. Let rise for 45-60 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
When cooled, frost with a powdered sugar frosting and decorate with marachino cherries and halved nuts.
