1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup warm milk
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

1 Place water, milk, 1/3 cup butter, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by your manufacturer if different. Select Dough/Knead and First Rise Cycle; press start.
2 When the cycle finishes, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle.
3 Spread 1/4 cup softened butter over entire round. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll wedges starting at the wide end; roll gently but tightly. Place point side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and put in a warm place to let rise for 1 hour.
