Steps

1

Scald milk, let cool
2

Add yeast to warm water, stir until dissolved
3

Combine in a large mixing bowl, sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in sticks of butter using a pastry cutter. Add in beaten eggs, scalded milk, and dissolved yeast. Mix until ingredients are distributed and forms a dough.
4

Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm space until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5

Split dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out dough into an 18"x 18" square. Brush on 2 tbs of melted butter to each square. Sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar. Add nuts. (This is an optional filling, any pastry filling of choice can be added at this step.)
6

Roll the dough into a spiral. Tuck in the ends. Place both loafs on a nonstick baking sheet. Add 3 diagonal slits to each loaf. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
7

Bake for 22 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool.

Frost on top and cut into 1" slices. Enjoy!
