2 pkg. dry yeast
1 c. lukewarm water
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt (optional)
4 eggs
1 c. butter
9 to 10 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon or less depending on your taste
2 c. confectioners sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, butter and 6 cups flour. Mix in enough remaining flour for easy handling. Knead dough until elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in buttered bowl and butter top of dough. Cover with damp towel and let rise about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down, then roll out on floured surface into a rectangle.
Spread with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon mix. Roll up dough widthwise and pinch edges to seal. Stretch roll to make even and ten cut into desired pieces. Place slightly apart on greased glass baking dishes and let rise 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Frost while still warm.
