Source of Recipe


Internet



List of Ingredients



• 5 to 5½ cups flour
  
• ½ cup sugar
  
• 2 packages Rapid Rise yeast
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• ½ cup water
  
• ½ cup milk
  
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
  
• 3 large eggs
  
• Apple Filling (recipe follows)
  
• Cinnamon-Sugar Topping (recipe follows)
  






Instructions



1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat ½ cup water with milk and butter until very warm (120° to 130° F). Gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
   
   
2. Divide dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle. Spread Apple Filling over evenly. Beginning at long end of each, roll up tightly as you would for a jellyroll. Pinch seams to seal. Cut each roll into 12 equal pieces. Place, cut sides up, in two greased 9-inch round pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar Topping.
   
   
3. Bake in 375° oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until done. Remove from pans; serve warm.
   
   Makes about 24 rolls.
