Steps

1. Mix yeast with 2 tbsp sugar and 2 cups water. Add melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix well. Sift flour. Add flour and salt and mix well.
2. Option 1: Let dough rise 2 hours. Then stir down and refrigerate overnight.
3. Option 2: Put in refrigerator immediately and refrigerate overnight.
4. In the morning, separate the dough into four equal parts. Roll into a large circle and brush with additional melted butter (butter, this time is a must). Cut like a pie into 12 pieces and roll, beginning with the wide end. Place on a buttered cookie sheet with the small "tail" of the roll down on the sheet so it retains its shape. Let rise 4-5 hours. Bake at 375F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter again!
