List of Ingredients

2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup water (110�F)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons non-fat powdered milk
1/4 cup instant mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted cooled butter
2 eggs
3 cups flour
butter


For Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup melted cooled butter


Recipe

Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the 1/2 cup of warm water.
Set aside until yeast bubbles, and mixture is foamy.
Add the next 7 ingredients, and about 1 cup of flour.
Beat with a wooden spoon.
Add remaing flour or a little more if needed, until bread dough consistency.
Place in a greased bowl and turn it to coat.
Dot dough with butter, and let it rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
Then, punch dough down, and place in a greased shallow baking pan (about 17 x 12 inches) Let rise 30 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Now the fun begins.
As if you're playing the piano, punch your fingers into the dough making indentations.
Pour on remaining 1/2 cup of butter, and let dough rise another 30 minutes.
Bake in a pre heated 375�F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
