1 cup milk
1 cup water½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 egg
6 – 6 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 small packages yeast (5 tsp.) – can use quick rise, if desired
½ cup melted butter
2 Tbs. cinnamon (I love to use Viennese cinnamon, available in the Hy-Vee Health Market Bulk Spice Section)
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
·
Combine
milk, water, oil, sugar and salt in microwave safe bowl; heat 1-2 minutes,
until temperature is to 120 - 130 degrees F.
·
While liquids are heating, measure 5 cups of
flour into a mixing bowl; stir in yeast.
·
Pour the
heated liquids into the flour/yeast mixture.
Mix at medium speed with regular beaters or a paddle attachment for 1-2
minutes, adding egg during this step.
·
Switch to
dough hook, and add remaining 1 cup of flour; knead dough for 2-3 minutes. Dough
should be soft and pliable, slightly sticky to the touch, but not sticking to
sides of bowl. (If dough hook is not available, you can stir
the remaining flour in by hand then place dough onto a floured work surface and
knead for 5-6 minutes.)
·
Allow dough
to rest for 10 minutes.
·
Punch dough
down; roll dough into a large rectangle, approx. 22” wide by 18” tall.
·
Spread
melted butter over surface of dough, then sprinkle dough evenly with cinnamon
sugar mixture; pat down firmly.
·
Roll up dough
from long edge, stretching edge over roll to seal and complete. (*Note to
class: Make sure Chef Alli demonstrates
her special technique for sealing!)
·
Using a
sharp serrated knife or a piece of dental floss, cut roll evenly into 12 very
large rolls and place onto a large sheet pan, or cut roll into 18 smaller rolls
and place onto a 2 sheet pans.
·
Let rolls
rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
·
Bake in
preheated 350 degree F. oven for approx. 16-18 minutes (18 small rolls) or
18-20 minutes (12 large rolls) or until light golden brown.
·
Let rolls
cool slightly, then frost with your favorite recipe of butter cream
frosting.
