A Christmas tradition -- I usually double the recipe (makes 8 coffee cakes) and give 7 away to friends.
Cut together butter, flour and salt with a pastry blender. Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Mix the sugar, eggs and warm milk with the yeast, then mix together with the flour. Grease the top of the dough, cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
Divide into 4 sections. Roll each section into a rectangle. Mix the brown sugar and the butter together and spread on the rectangle, then sprinkle with cinnamon, fruit and/or nuts. Roll jelly roll fashion sealing edges and ends. Beginning 1" from the top, cut down the center. Braid and then flatten slightly with your hand. Place 2 on a cookie sheet. Let rise for 3 hours.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the Frosting ingredients together, adding enough milk to make thin. Spread on warm coffee cake.
FREEZES WELL! TO REHEAT: Thaw slightly. Open foil a bit and place on cookie sheet in preheated 350? oven for 7-10 minutes.
