Preheat oven at 400 degrees
Ingredients for Dough:
6 eggs
5 pounds Gold Medal flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 1/3 cups oil
2 cups warm water
Filling:
walnut pieces chopped (about 4 cups)
vegetable oil
sugar
cinnamon
To make dough :
Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in a very big bowl
In a smaller bowl, mix the eggs, then mix in the oil, followed by the warm water
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, forming one big mass - mix by hand
Roll the dough into balls about the size of a softball
To make cinnamon sugar you probably need about 2 cups total. No one has ever measured it, it's pretty much made to taste, although it seems to be about 1:3 proportion cinnamon to sugar. Here's an idea of how it should look

Cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick (this might be too thin, but try to do thinner than 1/2 inch)

Bake slices about 12 minutes (probably between 10-15)
Wearing an apron is a good idea...
And PLEASE follow the recipe as it's written here - we actually forgot to add the sugar until we'd mixed the flour with with wet stuff, and trying to mix it in afterwards was only possible with the help of many tedious batches in the food processor - 5 pounds of flour is a LOT!
