EASY SWEET BREAD

1 cup flour
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1 egg
Mix all the ingredients with an electric mixer until the mixture is blended smoothly.

Stir in 2 cups flour. Mix well. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until double in size. Stir down. On a floured surface roll the dough into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the top. Roll into a "log" and slice off sections about an inch wide. Place on a greased pan and let rise. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes or until brown. Frost with icing flavored with almond extract instead of vanilla. Icing is made with sifted powdered sugar (maybe 3 cups?), about 3-4 tablespoons melted butter, milk or cream added to spreading consistency and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Drizzle over the rolls while they are still warm.

The rectangle can also be placed in a pan and covered with Wilderness pie filling. This then gets covered with a crumb mixture of 1 cube butter, 1 cup flour, and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix together until crumbly and cover the pie filling. Bake about 30 minutes or until brown. This make the old-fashioned German style coffee cake.
