Judy, maybe I can help out here
I have never made this particular cinnamon twist recipe but I do make cinnamon twists from a similar recipe. I let the dough rise the first time, punch it down, cut in half and roll out, brush with melted butter, sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on it, put one half on top of the other, then cut the strips, twist and let rise. THEN brush with butter, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar on and finish in the oven. The method used in the recipe Marsha posted looks like it is for fast commercial baking to do big quanities- probably using fast rising yeast. I would add a partial rise step to the existing recipe before you brush with butter, sprinkle cinnamon mixture on and bake.
