Directions:
In a small bowl mix warm water, sugar and yeast. In a small saucepan heat milk, sugar and butter, cool. Add the two together and mix, then add 6 eggs which have been whisked. Next add 5 cups of flour and mix for about 10 minutes, then add 3/4 Tbsp. salt and rest of flour or enough to form a soft dough. Let rise until double, about an hour.

Make filling in a small saucepan with dates water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add to mixture to thicken. Add 1 Tbsp. butter, 1 cup chopped nuts, 1 tsp. lemon juice, and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Let cool. Make glaze with ingredients and add water to thin if necessary.

Separate dough into 5 pieces. Roll each into a rectangle. Spread first with butter and then with filling. Roll up like a cinnamon roll and then form a ring, then slice 3/4 of the way through. Take each cut piece and twist to expose the filling and continue around. Do this with all 5 balls. Let rise and bake. Let cool and glaze. Now give some to your neighbors... they will love you!
