                         Dough
    2      packages      yeast
      1/4  cup           warm water
    1      cup           milk -- warmed
      1/2  cup           sugar
    2      teaspoons     salt
      1/2  cup           butter
    3                    eggs -- room temp
    5 1/2  cups          flour
 
    1      cup           sugar
      3/4  cup           brown sugar
    2      teaspoons     cinnamon
      1/2  cup           butter -- melted
    1      cup           nuts -- chopped fine
 
 Prepare dough as any yeast bread, cover and let rise until doubled.
  Mix together cinnamon, sugar, and brown sugar in bowl. Grease 10 inch
  tube pan heavily. Tear off golf ball size pieces of dough, dip in
  melted butter then coat in sugar mixture. Place in tube pan to form
  one layer and sprinkle with nuts. Continue to do this until dough is
  used. Sprinkle any remaining sugar and nuts, cover and let rise.
 Preheat oven to 350° and bake for 1 hour. Cover if necessary if it
 starts to brown too quickly.
