INGREDIENTS

• BASIC SWEET DOUGH:
• 4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 packages active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• CINNAMON SPREAD:
• 2 tablespoons softened butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown or white sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

• BASIC SWEET DOUGH: Stir together 1 3/4 cups flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk, water, butter, and sugar until very warm (120° to 130°F). Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes on electric mixer. Add egg and 1/2 cup more flour and beat another 2 minutes.
• Gradually add enough more flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto floured board; continue to work in flour until dough can be kneaded. Knead until smooth and elastic, but still soft (about 5 minutes). Cover; let rest about 20 minutes. Shape, let rise, and bake as directed as follows.
• FOR CINNAMON ROLLS: Roll dough into a 13x9-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter or margarine. Sprinkle with mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Beginning with long side, roll dough up tightly jelly-roll fashion. Cut roll into 12 (1-inch) slices. Place slices in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan or greased muffin cups. Bake at 375°F 15 to 20 minutes.
