Sylvia'S Kolache Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 ounce yeast (2 packs Fleischman's is good)
    1/4 cup warm water (lukewarm)
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 cups milk
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 eggs (slightly beaten)
    6 cups flour (all purpose)
Preparation
    Dissolve yeast with 1 T sugar in 1/4 c warm water.
    Let stand about 10 minutes.
    Scald milk.
    Stir in butter and sugar and let cool.
    Add salt and eggs.
    In a large bowl combine milk and yeast mixtures.
    Start adding flour 1 c at a time till you begin to work the dough with your hands (you should have used about 5 1/2 cups).
    Knead the dough working in the rest of the flour.
    Clean and grease your bowl; place dough in bowl grease the top with a little oil let rise until double in bulk.
    Sausage kolaches: Boil sausage till done cut in lengths desired wrap in dough (make sure it is sealed shut) let rise 1 hour bake at 400 18-20 minutes.
    Cinnamon rolls: I always make these with the left over dough. Roll out into a rectangle pour melted butter over the surface mix sugar and cinnamon and evenly spread over butter roll up dough and cut into slices place in greased pan about 1/2 inch apart. Let rise 1 hour. Bake at 400\u00b0 18- 20 minutes. Top off with a simple powdered sugar icing (I like to add cinnamon to that as well).
    You can add cheese to the sausage kolaches or ham and cheese, fruit filling and cream cheese, the possibilities are endless -- let me know what you guys try.
