Stir together 1 3/4 cups flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk, water, butter, and sugar until very warm (120 to 130 degree F). Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes on electronic mixer. Add egg and 1/2 cup more flour and beat another 2 minutes. Gradually add enough more flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto floured board; continue to work in flour until dough can be kneaded. Knead until smooth and elastic, but still soft (about 5 minutes). Cover; let rest about 20 minutes. Shape, let rise, and bake as directed in recipes that follow. Cinnarnon Rolls:- Roll dough into a 13x9-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons softened butter or margarine.

Place slices in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan or greased muffin cups. Bake at 375 degree F 15 to 20 minutes. Glazed Raised Doughnuts:- Follow recipe for Basic Sweet Dough. Roll out to about l/2-inch thickness. Cut with doughnut cutter or make into shape of your choice, such as squares, twists, long johns, doughnut holes, or bismarcks.
