3. In a small bowl combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside for later.

4. Open the bread dough and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, divide the dough with a small slit in the middle. The divide each section again in the middle. Repeat until you have 31 slits. Using a very sharp serrated knife, slice the dough into discs using the slits as guides. Place all the slices on a large sheet of wax or parchment paper and flatten with a rolling pin.

5. Brush each disc of dough with the melted butter.

6. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over all of the bread dough.

7. Stack 5-6 pieces of dough on top of each other. Slice each stack in half and place both sections cut side down in a muffin tin.

8. Place muffin tin onto a large rimmed cookie sheet to catch any sugar or butter overflow.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow muffins to cool for ten minutes in the pan and then enjoy!
