7-up refrigerator dough

5 1/2 c  All purpose flour
      2 pk yeast
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 ts Salt
      1 c  7-up
    1/2 c  Water
    1/4 c  butter or margarine
      1    Egg
      3    Egg yolks
 
  In a large mixer bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix
  well. In a saucepan (or microwave) heat 7-up, water, and butter until warm
  (120-130~); butter need not melt. Add to flour mixture. Add egg and yolks.
  Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By
  hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead
  on floured surgace until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes. Place in a
  greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap and foil.
  Refrigerate 4-24 hours. While dough is chilling, punch down several times.
  Remove desired amount of dough; refrigerate remaining dough until needed,
  shape into any of the four following coffecake recipes that will be posted
