1/2 c. warm water
1 tbsp. yeast

Mix and set aside.

2 c. milk, scald if fresh
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
Flour

Mix together and add yeast.

Cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Nuts and raisins if desired.

Add flour 1 cup at a time to form a soft dough to roll. Knead, place in a greased bowl, let rise, knead again and shape. Divide into 3 equal balls.

First ball, roll out to just fill the bottom of a large pizza pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, nuts and raisins.

Second ball, repeat as on the first layer.

Third ball, roll out and lay on top of first two layers.

Take a glass and cut a circle in the center of the pan, making sure not to cut the bottom layer of dough. Cut through the dough from the edge of the inner circle to the edge of the pan forming spokes in a wedge shape approximately 2 inches at the pan edge and almost a point at the circle edge.

Take each spoke and twist it one complete turn. Let twists raise until double in size.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 20 minutes. Drizzle with frosting while warm.

FROSTING:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar
Milk

Mix until smooth and then add milk slowly until frosting becomes a drizzling consistency.
