1 Cup milk 

1 egg, beaten 

4 Tablespoons melted butter 

4 Tablespoons water

1/2 box instant vanilla pudding (3.4 ounce. box) 

4 Cups bread flour 

1Tablespoon sugar 

1/2 Tablespoon salt 

2-1/2 Tablespoons bread machine yeast

Filling: 

1/2 Cup butter, softened 

1 Cup brown sugar 

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

1/4 Cup chopped walnuts, optional 

1/4 Cup raisins, optional

Frosting:

4 Ounces cream cheese, room temperature

1/4 Cup butter, softened 

1-1/2 Cups powdered sugar 

1/2 Tablespoon vanilla

1-1/2 Tablespoons milk 

3 Tablespoons real maple syrup 

Place all ingredients in your machine in order recommended by your machines manufacturer. Place the pan in your machine. Select the dough cycle and press start. When cycle is finished, remove the dough, knead enough to punch down and roll to 17X10.  

Combine first three filling ingredients and mix well.  Heat in microwave 10 seconds to make it spreadable. Spread over rolled out dough with rubber spatula. Get as close to the edges as possible. Sprinkle nuts or raisins over dough.  Starting with widest end, roll the dough into tight log. Cut into 1/2″ slices. 

Place in a lightly greased baking dish with sides. Put in warm draft-free place and allow them to rise until double. (I turn my oven on warm and place them inside. When the temperature light goes off, turn off the oven.  I let them rise 20-30 minutes this way.  Take out to heat oven to baking temperature). 

Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes. When the rolls are done top with frosting of your choice. 

Note: For a real treat replace raisins in the filling with chopped dried cherries, blueberries or strawberries. When doing this use frosting 1 or 2 and add a Tablespoon of matching fruit jam.
