Bread Machine Cinnamon Buns

By debicakes62

Ingredients

• 3/8 cup milk (heated approximately 1 minute in microwave)
• 3/8 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
• 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 3 cups bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast

Preparation

Step 1

Add all the ingredients, except the Cinnamon Filling and the Butter Frosting, in the bread pan of bread machine. Process according to manufacturer's instructions for a dough setting. NOTE: During the dough setting in the bread machine, there is a rise cycle that will rise the dough. When the bread machine has completed the dough cycle, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. (I use a nonstick cooking spray). Form dough into an oval, cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.

NOTE: Check the dough (don't be afraid to open the lid). It should form a nice elastic ball. If you think the dough is too moist, add additional flour (a tablespoon at a time). The same is true if the dough is looking dry and gnarly. Add warm water (a tablespoon at a time). If you can't judge your dough by looking, stick your finger in and feel the dough. It should be slightly tacky to the touch.
