Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour ot make dough easy to handle. Knead or mix for about 4 minutes. (At this point, dough can be refrigerated 3-4 days.) Let rise for about half hour to an hour. (Dough is ready if impression remains when touched.)

Shape dough into desired rolls or coffee cake. Place in oven on warm for 5 minutes. Remove and place towel over dough and let rise 15 minutes, then place in 375 degree oven and bake as directed.
