A copycat recipe from Crawford Bakery. Ingredients:
3 cups milk |
3/4 lb margarine or 3/4 lb butter |
9 whole eggs |

1 tablespoon salt |
7 cups flour |
2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry yeast (not rapid-rise) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3/4 cup warm water, 95 |
7 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Heat the milk and margarine until melted (but not too hot).

3. Put yeast, warm water and sugar into a bowl and set aside to proof.
4. When thick and bubbly mix until smooth and add to the mixture. Add remaining 7°C flour, one cup at a time, mixing with your hands (dough will be very soft and sticky - don't add more flour).

6. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place 20 to 30 minutes (this step may be omitted if you're in a hurry).
7. Punch down the dough and divide into quarters, halves or use all of the dough. Roll out into a circle 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 12 wedges if using a quarter of the dough; 24 wedges if using half or 48 for all the dough.
8. Roll up the wedges from the wide end to the pointed end, place on a cookie sheet and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
9. Bake in the center of a preheated 350°F oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown (if you like, a pan of water can be placed on the bottom rack of the oven).
10. If using a quarter of the dough at a time (this makes 1 dozen) the remaining quarters may be put into floured Ziploc bags to be refrigerated for 2 days or to freeze for 1 month.
11. Thaw the frozen dough over night in the refrigerator before using.
