List of Ingredients



• 2 (¼-ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
  
• 1 cup sugar, divided
  
• 2 cups warm water (100° to 110° F)
  
• 1 cup butter or margarine, melted
  
• 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  
• 1½ tsp salt
  
• 8½ to 9½ cups all-purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Stir together yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 cups warm water in a 4-cup glass measuring cup; let mixture stand 5 minutes. Stir together yeast mixture, remaining sugar and butter in a large bowl. Stir in eggs and salt. Gradually stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover and chill 8 hours.
   
   
2. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Turn each portion out onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 12-inch circle. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at wide end; place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85° F), free from drafts, 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
   
   
3. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden.
