Moravian Sugar Cake

2 pkg. dry yeast
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup warm water
2 Tbs. dry milk powder
2 Tbs. instant potato flakes
3/4 tsp salt
2 3/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup or more butter

Sprinkle yeast on warm water. Stir to dissolve. Add dry milk, potato flakes, sugar, salt, and 3/4C flour.
Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Add eggs, 1/3C butter and 1 C flour. Beat 2 minutes on high speed.
Add 1C flour. Beat by hand with wooden spoon to make a very soft dough. Cover.

Let rise until doubled--about 1 hour. Beat down. Let rise again and beat down. Let rise a third time.
Stir down. Spread in a greased 12X17 pan. Let rise until very puffy but not doubled.

Make a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top of dough. Make deep indentations with your finger over surface of dough. Drizzle melted butter over dough. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until golden.

Note. The dough is very soft--much like a "pully" batter. Spread in the pan with the back of a buttered rubber spatula. Also do not let it over-rise the last time. It has a lot of "oven spring" and while a thick cake is still good, it is traditionally pretty thin.
