Directions:Add 3 cups of the flour in a big mixing bowl with the yeast. Heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt in a small sauce pan to about 120º - add to flour mixture and the eggs. Mix and scrape bowl until smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups flour and continue to mix with spoon. Add remaining flour. Turn out into a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Shape into a ball - place in a lightly greased bowl - turn once to grease all sides - cover and place in a warm place until double, about 75 minutes. Punch down - divide in half - cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll into 15X11 inch oval - brush entire surface lightly with water. Combine cinnamon and sugar - sprinkle half of the mixture over each of the rectangles. Beginning with the narrow end, roll up - seal edge and ends. Place in two greased, Pyrex 9X5X3 inch loaf pans, sealed edges down, cover and let rise to nearly double, about 45 minutes. Cut 3 diagonal lines in the top of each loaf. Bake at 375º for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from pans, cool on a wire rack (cover with clean kitchen towel if you prefer soft crust). Drizzle warm loafs with Powdered Sugar Icing. |
