1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab a saucepan and combine the milk, water, and 2 tablespoons of butter.

2. Step 2

   Heat this mixture gently until it’s warm but not boiling, then pour it into your bread machine.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, an egg, salt, and yeast to the bread machine, following the order suggested by the manufacturer.

4. Step 4

   Now, kick off the dough cycle and let the machine work its magic.

5. Step 5

   Once the dough cycle is finished, take the dough out and give it a gentle punch to release any air bubbles.

6. Step 6

   On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, then spread the remaining softened butter generously over the surface.

7. Step 7

   Prepare a greased 9x13-inch baking pan to hold your delightful rolls.

8. Step 8

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of sugar and cinnamon to create a sweet topping.

   Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough, and if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some raisins and walnuts for added texture and flavor.

10. Step 10

    Now, starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough into a log shape and slice it into 12 equal pieces.

    Place these rolls cut-side down in your prepared baking pan.

12. Step 12

    Cover the pan and let the rolls rise in a warm spot until they nearly double in size, which should take about 30 minutes.

13. Step 13

    While your rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to bake.

14. Step 14

15. Step 15

    When they’re done, take them out and let them cool for about 10 minutes, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

    While the rolls cool, let’s whip up a simple frosting.

17. Step 17

    In a bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and a splash of vanilla until it’s smooth and thick.
