Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients Rolls:

1 cup milk

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter (unsalted)

1 egg, beaten

6 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

7 teaspoons yeast

2 teaspoons salt

Filling:

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Glaze:

3 Tablespoons butter

1 Tablespoon milk

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups sifted powdered sugar

Rolls: In a small saucepan, mix milk, water, and butter. Heat until very warm and butter melts. Add the egg. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour with the sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the milk/egg mixture. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add remaining flour and beat until batter is smooth and elastic, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top of the dough. Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

Filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Melt filling butter.

After dough has risen, punch down and let rise for 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll half out on a floured surface to form an 18 x 22-inch rectangle. Brush with half the filling butter. Sprinkle with half the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Beginning at the long side, roll up jellyroll fashion. Dampen edge with water and press together to seal. Cut into 1-1/2 inch slices, forming rolls, and place cut side down in a greased 13 x 9-inch buttered pan. Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 45 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. When dough has risen, bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden.

Glaze: While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat together butter and milk until the butter is melted. Add vanilla and sugar, adding the sugar gradually until glaze is desired consistency for spreading. Add milk if necessary. Apply glaze after rolls have cooled for 5 to 10 minutes.

Makes: 24 rolls
