HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLLS

In a separate bowl, combine water, milk and butter. Put the bowl in a microwave and heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. 

If you don't have a microwave or you just want to use the stove top, then you can just put water, milk and butter in a saucepan then melt on the stove top.

Pour into the dry ingredients and add the egg. Stir using a wooden spoon until a soft dough is formed. 

On a lightly floured surface using  floured hands, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl( you can use non-stick spray, cooking oil or butter). Cover loosely and let rest for 10 minutes. 

In a separate bowl mix cinnamon and sugar.

Roll Dough: After 10 minutes Roll the dough into rectangle shape.  Spread softened butter on top of the dough and sprinkle cinnamon mixture all over the dough. 

Roll up the dough tightly to make a log.  Cut rolls and arrange on a lightly greased pan. 

Tightly cover the rolls with a plastic wrap or aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm  place for 1 hour.
