    Recipe



    Preparation:
    Sweet Yeast Dough:
    Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Add powdered milk, sugar, butter,
    eggs and salt. Add 1/2 flour (approx. 2 C). Beat water and
    ingredients together with electric mixer for 3 minutes. With wooden
    spoon add remaining flour. Knead mixture on floured cloth until
    smooth and elastic. Takes about 10 minutes. Place mixture in a
    greased bowl and cover with cloth or saran wrap or top of tupperware
    container. Let it rise in a warm place until double in bulk. This
    will take approx. 1-2 hours. (80-85 degrees is ideal). (Suggestion to
    create warm place- heat a cup of water in a microwave for 2 minutes-
    then put dough into microwave. Don't turn on- but inside of microwave
    should be sufficiently warm to use for yeast rising). Punch the dough
    down and form into coffee cake, rolls etc- whatever you are making.
    Now put formed dough onto greased tin. Again cover and put in warm
    place and let rise again until double in bulk. then bake at 350 to
    375 until golden brown. 15 to 30 minutes. Rolls will bake 15 minutes.
    Coffee Cake will bake 25 to 30 minutes.

    Tea Ring Filling:
    Mix first three ingredients together. Roll out 1/2 dough that has
    risen once, not twice, to 8" by 12" rectangle. Spread 1 Tbls butter
    and 1/2 of cinnamon, sugar, nut mixture. Starting with 12" side- roll
    up like a jell roll. Form circle so ends meet. Place on greased
    cooking sheet. Seam side down. Make 1" cuts from the edge all the way
    around. Do not cut all the way through- cut to about 1/2" from
    middle. Repeat process with other 1/2 dough.

    Icing:
    Mix together above ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over top when
    coffee cake warm out of oven.
