White or Whole Wheat Dough Recipe

1. Roll 1¾ pounds of dough into a 20" x 8" rectangle. Brush with ¼ cup softened butter. Sprinkle with mixture of ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
2. Roll dough up from the long side and pinch seam. Place sealed edge down on greased baking sheet, forming a circle. Even up roll by stretching the dough slightly; seal ends.
3. Using scissors, make cuts ¾" wide, cutting almost through dough. Turn each slice on its side, placing every other slice to the center of the tea ring.
4. Cover; let rise until doubled. Bake at 350°F, 23-25 minutes or until golden.
5. Cool on rack. Decorate with icing, maraschino cherries and pecan halves. Tip: For pink icing, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and maraschino cherry juice.
