Yeast Mix

- Add 4th cup flour and beat with a wooden spoon or heavy duty mixer until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Mix in 5th cup flour to make dough stiff enough to pull away from sides of bowl.
- Measure out 6th cup and sprinkle 3/4th of it on surface where you will knead the dough. Turn out dough and sprinkle remaining flour over dough. Knead 20 to 30 minutes.
- Put dough into a greased bowl and turn it to grease on all sides. Cover loosely with a damp cloth or plastic and let rise in warm place until doubled.
- Punch down and turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Use rolling pin to roll dough into a rectangle about 1/2 in thick.
Filling
- Spread margarine evenly over dough. Sprinkle cinnamon over it. Then sprinkle sugar evenly over cinnamon.
- Roll dough from a long side like a jellyroll. Cut slices 3/4 inch wide and lay them flat in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise until dough is doubled.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes at 350 degrees F. Can cool in pan.
- Serve warm or cold.
Optional Glaze
