1/2 c. sugar
2 pkgs. yeast
1/2 c. water
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. salt
1 c. potato water

Heat milk, oil and sugar; cook to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in water. Combine milk and yeast mixtures. Add eggs, salt and potato water. Add flour and mix well. Turn into greased bowl and grease top.

Dip in a mixture of cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle with chopped pecans in between layers. Or you can just drizzle honey on the buttered bread layers.
