Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the warm water and the yeast. Set it aside for a few minutes so the yeast is activated.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the milk, sugar, oil, salt and eggs - mix to make a uniform mixture.

Step 3

Melt the butter, cool and mix it in thoroughly.

Step 4

Add in the yeast mixture and mix it in completely.

Step 5

Add about half of the flour, mixing with a spoon, then the other half - knead the dough with your hands and keep adding just enough flour to make a soft just slightly sticky dough -Knead this on a surface with only the slightest amount of flour on it to prevent sticking - Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is shiny and smooth. When done, place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat, then cover and let it rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Step 6

When completely risen, divide the dough into 2 equal pieces then shape the dough into a rough rectangle. Roll it out using a rolling pin until it is roughly 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Mix together the filling ingredients and spread the filling over the surface of each piece of rolled out dough.

Step 8

Then roll the dough up, starting on the long edge, jellyroll style - Make a long snake of the roll, cut it into two equal 'snakes' then twist them together.
