Directions

1. Set aside 1/2 cup of flour.
2. In a large bowl, toss the remaining flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together. Set aside.
3. Heat the water, milk, and butter together in the microwave until the butter is melted. About 125F-130F degrees.
4. Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture.
5. Add the egg and enough of the reserved flour to make a soft dough.
6. Dough will be ready when it gently pulls away from the side of the bowl.
7. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for about 10 minutes.
8. Make the filling: After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a 15x8 inch rectangle.
9. Spread the softened butter on top.
10. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it all over the dough. Add more cinnamon/sugar if desired.
11. Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 12 even pieces and place in a lightly greased 9-inch round pan.
12. Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes.
13. After the rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375°F Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned.
14. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil after 15 minutes to avoid heavy browning.
