EGG CINNAMON BREAD

1 pkg active dry yeast                                          2 eggs
2 tbsp lukewarm water                                         3 cups sifted flour
2/3 cup milk                                                        1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar                                                       2 tbsp melted butter or margarine, or egg white
6 tbsp margarine

Dissolve yeast in water and let stand while the milk is scalding.

In large bowl pour milk over 1/4 cup sugar, salt and about 4 tbsp margarine. Set aside to cool to lukewarm; then add egg, yeast and half flour, beating until satiny smooth. Mix and beat in the remaining flour with a large spoon.

Cover with a clean cloth; in a warm place let rise until double.

Punch down and knead lightly. Roll out onto lightly floured board; spread with remaining 2 tbsp butter or margarine, sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon roll up tightly from end to end and place in bread pan. Brush with 2 tbsp melted butter and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cool.
