Then add:  1 cup milk, 1 cup water, 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup oil, 2 t salt, 5+ cups flour -- Beat the wet ingredients, and add flour a little at a time.  This will make tender dough.  The dough will be sticky, so flour the board you are working on.  Take out enough dough to make roll for  cinnamon roll.   Roll out about 1/2-inch thick.  Spread on melted butter, then cinnamon and sugar.   Roll together until 1 inch thick and cut.  Place in greased pan, cut side up.  Let rise until double, then bake at 375 F till light brown.
