4.Program Bread Select for dough. Program TIME DELAY if being used. Start bread maker. When done, remove pan from bread maker. Place dough onto greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

5.Place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 15x12-inch rectangle. Cover ⅔ of dough with thinly sliced butter. Fold unbuttered third of dough over the center buttered third, then fold again, over the remaining buttered third. See Diagram 1. Seal ends and log side of dough.
