Instructions
Warm milk and butter until just melted. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, water, and eggs. Mix until smooth, gradually adding remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Knead dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes.
Roll dough into two rectangles (about 12×8 inches each). Spread softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins or other twists.
Roll tightly from the long edge, slice into 12 rolls per log.
Place in greased pans, cover, and let rise 15–20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze if desired.
