Directions: |
Directions:Combine milk, water and butter; heat until very warm and butter melts. Add egg. In large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour with sugar, yeast and salt. Add milk/egg mixture to flour mixture. Beat at medium speed until batter is smooth and elastic; about 5-8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease the top of the dough. Cover with damp towel and let rise in warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Return to the dough and push down. Cover again and let rest for 10 minutes more. Divide dough in half and set one half aside. Roll first half out on floured surface to form and 18 X 12 rectangle. Brush with 1/2 of the melted butter, leaving a 1/2" border. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Beginning at the long side, roll up jelly roll fashion. Moisten edges with water and press together to seal. Cut rolls into 1 1/2" slices to form rolls. Place cut side down in greased 9 X 13 baking dish. Cover with damp cloth and let rise in warm place for 45 minutes to an hour or until doubled in size. Repeat with remaining half of the dough. When rolls have risen, bake at 375º for 20 minutes or until brown. While rolls are cooking, prepare glaze. Apply glaze when rolls have cooled slightly. Yield: 2 dozen rolls. (Rolls may be prepared for baking and refrigerated over night. Next morning, before baking, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Bake as directed.) May also bake rolls and wrap in foil and freeze. Before serving, defrost them overnight at room temperature. In the morning, place them still wrapped in foil in a 350º oven for 15-20 minutes. Then glaze and serve. |
