2 c. milk, scalded
2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm water
3 eggs
1/2 c. melted butter
About 7 c. sifted flour

FILLING:

1/2 c. sugar (more or less)
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
2 c. chopped nuts
1 c. raisins

Measure salt and sugar into mixing bowl. Add scalded milk and cool to lukewarm. Mix yeast into lukewarm water. Break eggs into separate bowl and beat. When milk is lukewarm, add yeast, eggs and about 3 1/2 cups flour; beat well. Add 4 cups more flour. Knead. Add more or less flour as needed. Let rise. Punch down. Roll out gently into large oval. Dough should be no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, cloves mixture.

Then sprinkle with chopped nuts, hickory or walnuts work best. Then sprinkle with raisins. Use rolling pin to press gently into dough. Roll and shape into large "U". Spread with additional melted butter and sprinkle with some reserved sugar/spice mixture. Let rise until double. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
