yeast, softened in lukewarm water, and nutmeg or cinnamon. Cut in enough
flour to make of soft roll dough consistency. Cover and let rise overnight.
Next morning cut down, add sugar, eggs, and enough additional flour to form
a soft roll dough. Cover and let rise until double in bulk. Turn onto
lightly floured board, roll in sheet 1/3 inch thick, cut with lightly
