Ingredients

For the dough:

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup butter or shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 3 ¼ - 3 ¾ cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon Red Star Platinum Superior Baking Yeast

For the filling:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened

Instructions

To make the dough:

  1. In large mixer bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well.
  2. In saucepan, heat milk, water and butter (or shortening) until warm. Add to flour mixture. Add egg. 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 surface until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.

To prepare filling:

  1. Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.
  2. Punch down dough. On lightly floured surface, roll to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Sprinkle Filling over dough. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly. Pinch edge to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place in greased 13 x 9-inch cake pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until indentation remains after touching. Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan; cool.
