QUICK BUTTERMILK SWEET DOUGH

2 pkgs. yeast

1/2 c. warm water

1-1/4 c. buttermilk

2 eggs

5-1/2 to 6 c. flour

1/2 c. butter, softened

1/2 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2-1/2 c. flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead for 5 minutes. Shape dough immediately. Cover; let rise until double; about one hour. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Baking times vary depending on what dough is used for.

Can use to make cinnamon rolls. Bake for 25 minutes.
