I was thrilled to discover that once baked they also freeze beautifully.  I sadly cannot take credit for the original recipe but I made some alterations that I will take credit for.                                                                            Cinnamon Filling 2 cups warm water                                               1 cube butter (melted) 2 packages dry yeast (2 T.)                                   3 tablespoons cinnamon 2/3 cup oil                                                            1 1/2 cups brown sugar 2 eggs 2/3 cup sugar 6 cups flour Soften yeast in warm water then add eggs, oil, salt and sugar and mix well.  Add flour and mix well knead until smooth and elastic.  It will still be a little sticky.  (I use my kitchen aid mixer for the entire process with  great success).
