Italian Bread Recipes

I'm looking for an Italian cookie recipe. It has yeast and starts like a bread recipe.?

The dough rises once, then you take pieces, roll them in powdered sugar and cut into log shapes and bake. My grandmother made them at holidays. I have looked all over the internet, and I can't find it anywhere. My family remembers the cookie, but no one has the recipe.

Could it be Rugalach?

Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 cube cake yeast
1 cup heavy cream
3 egg yolks
Filling, recipe follows
Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup raisins

Directions:
Dough: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix butter with dry ingredients until sandy. Crumble yeast into cream and stir in the yolks. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients to make a dough and chill it for 3 to 4 hours or more. Roll out 1/3 of the pastry thin, into a circle.

Filling: Combine sugar, cinnamon and nuts and sprinkle onto the dough. Dot with golden raisins.

Cut into triangles and roll up starting at the wide end and place on a greased cookie sheet, point side down. Repeat with remaining dough. Let rise 30 minutes at room temperature. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
