  On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper or pat dough into a 14x10-inch rectangle.

  Spread dough with 1/2 cup softened butter; sprinkle with the sugar-spice mixture and if desired at this point, sprinkle with raisins. Starting from a long side, roll up into a spiral, pinching seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 slices.

  Arrange slices, cut sides down, in prepared pan. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Using edges of parchment paper, lift from pan to a wire rack. Cool slightly. Drizzle with Maple Glaze.
