== Directions ==
# Combine 2 cups of flour, the yeast and the salt.

# Add the milk, ⅓ cup of melted butter and the eggs to the flour mixture.
# Beat with a spoon for about three minutes.
# Stir in the remaining 2 cups of flour.
# Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
# Shape into a ball.
# Place in a lightly greased bowl. Turn once. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
# Punch dough down.
# Divide into three equal portions. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
# On a lightly floured surface, roll a portion of the dough into a 12" x 8" rectangle.
# Spread over it 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
# In a bowl on the side, mix the ½ cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
# Sprinkle a third of the cinnamon sugar over the dough.
# Sprinkle on a third of the raisins (optional).
# Roll up the dough from one of the long sides (it should now be a "log" shape) 
# Slice the dough into 10 – 12 pieces.
# Place the rolls, swirl side up, in a baking pan or on a baking sheet, right next to each other.
# Cover and let rise until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).
# Repeat with the two other portions of dough.
# Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 – 25 minutes or until cooked and lightly browned on the bottoms.
