Cinnamon Rolls

Directions

1. 1In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine brown sugar and butter and beat until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time.
2. 2In a small saucepan, heat milk and water until lukewarm to the touch; add to batter.
3. 3Add cinnamon, salt and yeast and mix together with paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment and replace with dough hook. Add in two cups flour and knead with dough hook. Continue to add one cup of flour at a time until dough begins to look shaggy and pulls from the sides of the bowl.
4. 4Place dough on counter and knead 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to keep it from being sticky. Dough should end up soft and smooth.
5. 5Place dough ball in a greased bowl, turning to coat, and let rest one hour or until doubled in bulk.
6. 6In the meantime, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling in a small bowl.
7. 7Place the risen dough on counter and roll out into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter for the filling over the rectangle and sprinkle brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly on top. Fold over shorter sides one-inch in and roll lengthwise into a jelly-roll shape and pinch seam closed. Cut into 12 pieces with a very sharp knife. Place pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rest 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
8. 8Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake rolls for 20-30 minutes until slightly brown. Cool on wire rack.
