Dough should be soft but not stiff. Roll into a 10 inch circle with a floured rolling pin.. Brush with 1 Tbs melted butter. Fold dough almost in half- just off center. Carefully place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350F oven about 40 to 50 minutes or golden. Brush with remaining 2 Tbs. melted butter. Cool completely. Wrap in foil and let mellow 2 days before serving. Dust with powdered sugar.
Note: this has a European pastry quality, excellent taste and texture . Remember to prepare in advance and let the stolen age to mellow flavors. Great with coffee or tea
