In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Add 4 cups flour, eggs, butter,

sugar and salt; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to

form

a

soft

dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8

minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise

in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch the dough down and di-

vide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 12 inch circle; spread melted butter on

circle if desired and then cut each circle into 12-16 - wedges.

Roll up wedges from the wide end and place with pointed end down on greased

baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, (about 30 minutes). Bake at

400 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with

butter

if

de-

sired.

HINT: Make these ahead and bake partially. Cool and freeze. The day you

need them, thaw completely and finish baking.
