  4. Add the butter and water mixture and the egg to the flour mixture; beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides in between
  5. Add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time until the dough forms into a ball (will still be slightly sticky but holds it shape)

  18. Sprinkle the cranberry orange compote on top of the Cinnamon Sugar mixture
  19. Starting at the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough up tightly
