1/3 C. sugar
3 Tbs. yeast
1/2 C. oil
1-1/4 C. warm water
2 beaten eggs
1-1/2 tsp. salt
5-1/4 sifted flour
1/4 C. melted butter
1-1/2 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. chopped nuts (I like using pecans) *optional
3/4 C. raisins *optional
Sugar Glaze:
2 C. powdered sugar
1/4 C. hot water
1 tsp. butter
In a large bowl mix 1/3 C. sugar, yeast, & oil with warm water until dissolved. Cover & let stand in warm place 15 minutes. (Yeast will grow rapidly.)
Blend eggs into yeast mixture. Add salt to sifted flour, then gradually add to yeast mixture to make soft dough.
Knead dough 5 minutes on lightley floured surface. Roll dough into rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush dough with melted butter. Combine cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle over dough, then sprinkle on nuts &/or raisins if desired.
Carefully roll up dough & cut 1 inch slices. Place in ungreased rectangular pan. Let rest 10 minutes.
Bake at 425F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Frost with sugar glaze while warm.
