    List of Ingredients


    • 2 pkgs active dry yeast
    • 1/2 cup warm water
    • 2 cups lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
    • 3 tsp baking powder
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 1 egg
    • 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
    • 4 T butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 T plus 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 2/3 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped


    Instructions


    1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, 1/3 cup sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder, salt, egg and 2 to 3 cups of flour. Beat with mixer until smooth. By hand, mix in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Turn dough out onto well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours (dough is ready if indentation remains when touched).
    2. Grease two 13x9x2-inch baking pans; set aside. Punch dough down; divide in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll one half of the dough into 12x10-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 T of the butter. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the rectangle. Sprinkle with half of the chopped nuts, if desired. Roll up, beginning at the 12" side. Pinch edge of the dough into the roll to seal. Stretch the roll to make it even.
    3. Cut the roll into twelve 1" slices. Place slightly apart in one of the baking pans. Wrap the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Let rise in warm place until double; about 30 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough. Let rolls rise on countertop for 1/2 hour before refrigerating. Refrigerate 12 hours, but no longer than 48 hours. Next morning take rolls from refrigerator and let sit about 1/2 hour before baking.
    4. To bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove foil from pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden. Frost with powdered sugar frosting while warm.
