You need to find an icing recipe they don't have one.

Dough
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup all purpose shortening
4 cups all purpose flour
2 lg. eggs
1 cup milk (room temperature)
2 sm. packs active dry yeast
1/4 tsp lemon flavor
1/4 tsp orange flavor
1/4 tsp vanilla flavor
1/4 tsp butter flavor
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Colored Sugar
3 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp purple food color
1 tsp yellow food color
1 tsp green food color

- In a mixer at first speed combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar, salt, and shortening until well creamed.

- Add eggs and continue to cream.

- Dissolve the yeast in the milk and add the flavors.

- Once dissolved add to creamed mixture and continue to mix.

- Add flour and mix until dough tightens.

- Remove from mixer and kneed into a ball.

- At this point sprinkle some flour on top and cover with a clean kitchen towel.

- Allow the dough to rest for 11/2 hours.

- While the dough is resting mix your colored sugars.

- Start by taking one cup of sugar and your yellow food coloring.

- Mix by hand with a wire wisk in a metal bowl until the sugar turns yellow.

- Pour your yellow sugar into a separate bowl and put off to the side.

- Repeat this process mixing green then purple. (By doing them in that order you only dirty one mixingbowl)

- When dough has rested roll out into an oblong piece.

- Brush on canola oil covering the entire piece.

- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar liberally over the whole piece.

- Once the dough is covered with the cinnamon sugar and oil, fold it in half lengthwise.

- Cut into 3 strips and braid the dough.

- Gently roll the dough by starting at one end and working all the way down to the other end.

- This will make the dough a nice long piece that can then be shaped into a circle.

- Once shaped place on a baking pan covered with piece of parchment.

- Allow the dough to rest again until it doubles in size.

- Bake at 370 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown. Then laissez les bon temps rouler!
