Ingredients




4 cups to 4 ⅓  all purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup milk
 cup butter or margarine
 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Preparation

1 Combine 2 cups flour with yeast. 2 Heat and stir milk, butter or margarine, sugar and salt until warm and butter is almost completely melted. 3 Add this  to the flour mixture along with the eggs. 4 Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl, then beat on high speed for approx. 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the remaining flour ( 2 to 2 1/3 cups) as you can. 5 Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (about 3 - 5 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double in size. (About 1 hour) 6 Punch dough down. Divide in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. 7 Roll half of the dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle. Melt 3 tablespoons butter or margarine; brush half over the dough. combine 3/4 cup sugar and 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; sprinkle half of the mixture over dough. Fold dough in half and then in half once more. Cut strips of dough along the short end and twist sealing the seams. 8 Place in a baking sheet. Cover; let rise till nearly double about 30 minutes. 9 Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. (Be sure to check them, they brown easily.) 10 For the sugar glaze combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Continue to add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you get a drizzling consistency.

Hello,
The recipe doesn't give the amount of butter or sugar? Could you revise the recipe?
