Shape and top the dough

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to about 0.5 cm thick. Then cut into 1 cm wide and 20-30 cm long strips. Wrap the rolling pin with aluminum foil and grease well with butter. Prepare a baking dish that is large enough to place the handles of the rolling pin on the edges and so that the roller does not touch the bottom of the dish. Wrap the dough strips spirally and slightly overlapping around the rolling pin. Brush the rolled-up dough strips with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar all around.

Baking

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat). Place the rolling pin on the baking dish so that the dough hangs in the air. Bake the striezel in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes, turning it once in between so that it browns evenly.
