How to Make
Warm the milk in a small pot until it reaches 115°F.
In a bowl, combine the warmed milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a stand mixer bowl, add the foamy yeast mixture with melted butter, egg, and yolk. Mix on low until well combined.
Slowly incorporate the bread flour and kosher salt, kneading for 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1½ hours.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle dark brown sugar mixed with cinnamon over it.
Roll the dough tightly from one end, cut into 9 equal slices, and place in a lined baking pan.
Cover the rolls and let puff up for about 45 minutes to 1 hour while preheating the oven to 350°F.
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
Beat together cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread cream cheese frosting onto warm rolls and enjoy!
