Oh My Stars! That's what a neighbor says when something amazing happens, and this is amazing. It looks so complex, but was easy. I added an egg and some vanilla to the dough, and sprinkled some extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking. I did have a little trouble with the bottom layer of dough shrinking up a little bit before I got the top layer on, but it doesn't seem to have hurt it. I had to do some serious pinching of the ends, and gave them a final pinch just before baking. I didn't leave such a big circle in the middle, either. I kept wondering why the recipe author didn't want a bigger star, but I am now thinking that the ends would be so big that the whole thing wouldn't bake evenly. Any advice on doubling the recipe, as I know I will have to make a lot of these. Should I just double everything except the yeast? Actually, I could probably do a triple batch in my mixer. The author of this recipe is a true artist!
