Directions

1. Rolls:
2. Place ingredients in machine following the specifications of that particular machine. Set for dough cycle.
3. After complete on dough cycle, remove from machine and roll out to about 17x10" rectangle.
4. Filling:
5. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon.
6. Moisten the dough by brushing with milk.
7. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over top.
8. Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled.
9. Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or larger if a larger bun is preferred).
10. Place into greased cake pans or a cookie sheet. If using cake pans, use 3 9" pans. Let rise until doubled.
11. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Do not overbake.
