Prep Time: 1 Hour + Rising
Bake Time: 30 Minutes
Makes: 2 Dozen

Ingredients:
- 2 Pkg. (1/4 oz each) of Active Dry Yeast
- 1 1/2 Cups of Warm Water (110F to 115F)
- 1 Cup of Mashed Potatoes (Without Added Milk and Butter)
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar
- 1/2 Cup of Butter: Softened
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tsp. of Salt
- 6 to 6 1/2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
Topping:
- 1/4 Cup of Butter
- 1 Cup of Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 Cup of Honey
- 1 Tsp. of Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Cup of Chopped Walnuts
Filling:
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar
- 2 Tsp. of Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp. of Butter: Melted

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, sugar, butter, eggs, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups of flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. For topping, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, honey and cinnamon. Divide mixture among three greased 9 inch round baking pans, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with walnuts.

4. For filling, in a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll one portion into an 18x12 inch rectangle. Brush with 1 Tbsp. of melted butter to within 1/2 inch of edges; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar mixture.

5. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Place eight slices in each pan, cut side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.

6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto serving plates. Serve warm.

Bon Appetit!
