Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  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 flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a 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 3 greased 9-in. 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 1 portion into an 18x12-in. rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter to within 1/2 in. of edges; sprinkle with 1/4 cup 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, butter and sugar mixture. Place 8 slices in each pan, cut side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
  6. Bake until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Immediately invert onto serving plates. Serve warm.
