Instructions
Making the Cinnamon Rolls
Warm the Milk: Heat milk to 115°F to ensure it activates the yeast properly.
Activate Yeast: Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it's foamy.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the activated yeast with melted butter, large egg, and egg yolk.
Knead Dough: Gradually add bread flour and kosher salt. Knead for 8-10 minutes until soft.
First Rise: Grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and let it rise until it doubles, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Prepare for Filling: Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll & Slice: Roll the dough into a tight log, pinch to seal, and slice into nine rolls.
Second Rise: Arrange rolls in a baking pan, cover, and let rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F, bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Frost warm rolls.
Notes
Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for a personalized twist on these rolls.
