3 cups milk
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 cubes)
1 cup instant potato flakes
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 heaping tablespoon Saf yeast
4 eggs
7 cups flour
Step 1 - Heat milk in a large glass bowl in the microwave for about 7 minutes. Add the butter, potato flakes, sugar and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes. (Put the other 1/2 cube butter out to soften for your spread.)
Step 2- Beat four eggs in bread mixer or by hand. Add the above milk mixture to eggs. Make sure it is not too hot or it will cook the eggs. Add the yeast. Mix and add 7 cups flour.
Step 3- Let rise for about 1 1/2 hours. Divide dough in half and roll one half into a large circle. Spread butter on the top of the dough. Take the bottom half of the dough and fold to the center of the circle. Your dough should be a long rectangle about 4 to 5 inches wide and about 20 inches long. With the pizza cutter, cut 1 inch strips and tie in a knot. Let rise for 3 hours and then bake at 375 degrees for 11 minutes.
For Cinnamon Rolls:
Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. Follow instructions for step 3. Mix the cinnamon/sugar mixture and sprinkle on top of buttered circle. Fold dough as stated above and cut and tie. Let rise for 3 hours and bake at 375 degrees for 11-13 minutes.
For Orange Rolls:
Mix 3/4 to 1 cup sugar and rinds fro 1 or 2 oranges. Follow same instructions for cinnamon rolls.
Frosting:
4 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk or cream to make it creamy. For the orange rolls add 1 to 2 tablespoons grated orange rinds and 2 or 3 tablespoons orange juice to above mixture. Spread on rolls when they come out of the oven.
*I never follow the circle, cutting directions for cinnamon rolls. I just always make this dough and make the standard roll-em-up cinnamon rolls. But the knot rolls plain are also so yummy and sure to impress everyone you know.
