- 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 pkg. RapidRise yeast
- 1 1/4 c. milk
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 6 Tbsp. butter, softened
- 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 recipe maple nut glaze or powder sugar glaze
- In a large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour and yeast.
- Heat the milk, sugar, the 1/4 cup butter and salt just until mixture is warm (120u0b0) and the butter is almost melted, stirring constantly.

- Slice each dough roll into 8 pieces.
- Arrange slices, cut side down, in a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
- Cover; let rise until nearly double (about 1 hour).
