Cinnamon, Orange or Roll Dough

3 c. milk
1 cube butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. salt
3 T. yeast
3/4 c. hot water
1 T. sugar
3 eggs
9-10 cups flour

Put milk and butter in microwave for 5-6 minutes until scalded and butter is melted.  Add milk to 1/2 c. sugar and salt in large mixer bowl.  Mix well.  Add 6 c. flour and mix until smooth.  Meanwhile, mix yeast, hot water and 1 T. sugar in bowl - until foams up.  Add yeast mixture to mixing bowl and 1 c. flour.  (Make sure dough is not too hot so it will not kill the yeast.)  Mix until smooth.  Add eggs with 2-3 cups flour and mix until smooth.  Dough will be soft and sticky.  Pour out onto well floured surface and knead until smooth ball and doesn't stick.  Place in well oiled bowl and let raise until double in size.  Roll out 1/2 the dough - spread with butter, cinnamon, and sugar or orange filling.  Roll up and cut about 1 inch thick.  Place in pan.  Bake 15-20 min. at 375 degrees or until golden brown.  Dough can be used to make plain dinner rolls also.
