Cinnamon Almond Braid image

Refrigerated dough makes this pretty braid from Nancy Gunn in Orem, Utah both flaky and fuss-free while cinnamon and almond make it simply delicious! Try it with other types of refrigerated dough for a different texture. "I've made it with a crusty French loaf," Nancy notes.
