1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° - 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° - 115°)
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened, divided
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water let stand for 5 minutes. Add milk, 1/2 cup sugar, oil, salt, eggs, extract and 2 cups flour beat well. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. On a floured surface, roll out to a large rectangle 1/4 in. thick. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar. Fold dough in half lengthwise roll out to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar. Fold in half widthwise roll to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with remaining butter and sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar. Fold in half lengthwise roll out to an 18-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar sprinkle half over the dough to within 1/4 in. of all edges. Starting with the shorter side, roll up tightly and pinch to seal. Cut into 1/2-in. slices and place on greased baking sheets (four to six slices per sheet). Cover with waxed paper and flatten with palm of hand. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes. Remove from baking sheets immediately.
