This makes those big gooey rolls that spoil everyone’s diet for a week.

Start the night before.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and 1 ½ cups flour. Heat milk, sugar and butter until just warm (about 110°F) and stir until butter is just melted. Add milk mixture to flour, add eggs, beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, add in as much of the remaining flour as you can (dough will be soft).

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough (3 to 5 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball.

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turn once to coat. Cover, let rise till doubled (1 to 1 ½ hours).

Punch dough down. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface. Form into a ball and let it rest, covered, about 10 minutes.

Roll dough out into a big rectangle (you can do this in 2 sections if you like). Spread softened butter over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over butter. Add chopped nuts and/or raisins if you like! Okay….I use more sugar and cinnamon than that. Use your judgment. Like it extra gooey? Add more. Leave one edge clean for sealing when you roll.

Roll the dough up like a jelly roll. Seal the clean edge - a little water will help you crimp the edge in.

Get out your dental floss. You’re going to use the floss to cut the log into 12 rolls. Slide floss under dough at about 1/12 of the way in. Pull the floss around the dough as though you were going to tie a knot. Pull taught and it will neatly slice your roll. Place each roll into a greased 9x13 baking pan.

Cover and let rise till nearly double. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until light brown.

Better: The night before, put the pan of unrisen dough rolls into the fridge (covered in plastic wrap). Take out the next morning and let stand about 30 minutes. Bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes.

Turn rolls out onto a wire rack. Served with your favorite glaze if you like that kind of thing.

Combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and enough milk for drizzling consistency.
