Bread - Basic Sweet Roll Dough

1 cup water
1 cup milk
1 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cakes or 2 pkgs yeast
5 - 6 cups flour

Add yeast to warm water.  User warm but not hot water for dry yeast and lukewarm water for compressed.  Add the milk that has been scalded and cooled to lukewarm, the beaten egg, salt, sugar, flour and kneed lightly.  Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until double in bulk.  Do not punch this sweet roll dough down.

For cinnamon rolls, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12 x 15" and about 1/2: thickness.  Then the flattened dough is spread liberally with softened butter and a cup of brown sugar is sprinkled over the butter and rolled into the dough.  Use a liberal sprinkling of cinnamon over the sugar.

The dough is then rolled up lightly into a long roll withe the edges carefully sealed.  Cut in 1" slices and place in a well greased pan.  Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.  Bake at 375 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes.  .

The orange dressing is made by grinding two oranges, rind and all, and mixing in one cup of sugar.  This is placed over a very low fire and cooked for 15 mins or until it is thick.
