4 3/4 cups  all-purpose flour (4 3/4 to 5 1/4 cups)
1 1/4 cups  sugar
2  packages  Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise yeast
1  teaspoon  salt
1/2 cup  water
1/2 cup  milk
3/4 cup  butter or margarine
2  eggs
1 1/2  tablespoons  ground cinnamon
1 cup  finely chopped dates
                    
       
CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR FROSTING
1  cup  confectioners' sugar
1  tablespoon  milk (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract

In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, milk and 1/2 cup butter until very warm (125º to 130ºF). Stir into dry ingredients. Mix in eggs and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll each to 10- × 12-inches. Melt remaining butter; brush on dough. Sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar, cinnamon and dates; roll up tightly from long ends as for jelly roll. Pinch seams to seal; place rolls seam side down.

Mark each roll into 16 equal pieces. Starting with first mark, slice every other mark 3/4 of the way through dough. Slice remaining marks all the way through dough to make 8 rolls from each piece of dough. Spread apart the two halves of each roll (like a fan). Gently flatten with hand; pinch and shape to resemble hearts. Place on greased baking sheets.

Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. If needed, carefully reshape each roll to heart shape.

Bake at 375ºF for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; cool on wire racks. Frost, if desired.

Confectioners' Sugar Frosting: Combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
