5 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. sugar
4 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
1/2 c. water
2 eggs

In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Heat milk, butter and water until warm (105° to 115°F). Add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium. Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat 2 minutes at high. Add enough of remaining flour to make stiff dough. Place in greased bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or up to 2 days.

Punch down: divide in half. Roll each half into a 15-inch circle on floured board. Cut into 16 pie-shaped wedges with a pizza cutter. Roll up from wide edges and place with points down on greased sheets. Allow to rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely!
