Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, butter, salt and 2 1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; 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 dough down; divide in half. Roll each half into an 18x8 rectangle. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over the dough. Roll up each rectangle from a short side; pinch seam to seal.
Place seam side down in two greased 9x5x3 loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 350ºF for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
