3 1/4- 3 3/4cupsall-purpose flour
1/4cupsugar
2 1/4teaspoonpacket rapid rise yeast
1teaspoonsalt
3/4cupmilk
1/4cupwater
1/4cupbuttercut into cubes
1egg
Filling:
1cupsugar
1tablespooncinnamon
1/2cupbuttermelted
Glaze:
1cuppowdered sugar
2teaspoonscinnamon
5-6tablespoonsheavy whipping cream
Instructions
Combine 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, dry yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and stir to combine. Combine the milk, water and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high in 15 second increments until it is very warm, but not hot, 120º to 130ºF. The butter will not melt completely. Add the liquid to the bowl with the flour mixture along with the egg.
Beat the mixture for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add one more cup of the flour, and beat for an additional 2 minutes on high speed. Add just enough of the flour to the dough so that it will form into a ball.
Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. The dough should spring back when lightly touched with 2 fingers. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for 10 minutes.
While the dough is resting, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the filling.
Spray a fluted tube pan (bundt pan) generously with cooking spray.
Cut the dough into 36 pieces and roll into balls. Dip each of the pieces in the butter, then roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place in the prepared pan. Drizzle any remaining butter and cinnamon/sugar over the rolls. Cover the pan with a towel and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375º. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter.
For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the cream 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread.
