Roll dough into a rectangle. For 2-lb. breadmaker, roll dough into 20 inch x 14 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface, use 1/3 cup of the softened butter and butter 2/3 of the dough while leaving 1/3 unbuttered. For 1-lb. breadmaker, roll dough into 1/4 inch thick rectangle, use about 1/3 cup of the softened butter and butter 2/3 of the dough while leaving 1/3 unbuttered.

The base of each triangle should be about 3-1/2 inch wide. For 1-lb. breadmaker, roll dough into 1/4 inch in thickness and cut dough into 12 triangles. The base of each triangle should be about 5 inches.
