We recently attended the Medieval fair in Sao Joao da Madeira, Portugal. Ropes of dough, wound around itself, then cut 4 times with scissors at the top to make them look like the castle towers. Slightly sweet yeast rolls. Anyone have a recipe? Anyone know how the cuts are made?

It's in my to-do list, too.
Here is a recipe in Portuguese and English:

The video shows very clearly how the shaping and the cuts are made. The dough is not shaped as a rope but as a very long triangle, to get that cone shaped loaf when wound around itself.
