Description

Directions

• Pour your milk into a mug and microwave it for about 20 seconds until it is lukewarm, NOT HOT (about 105-115 degrees F.). Stir in yeast and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes until the top of the mixture looks foamy.*
• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk mixture, melted butter, sugar, egg yolk, and salt.
• Add the flour a third at a time and using a spoon, mix well, until a thick, sticky dough forms and all the flour is incorporated. Dump the mixture onto a well-floured work surface and knead just until the dough is no longer sticky and forms a ball (about 10 folds).
• Place dough into a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.
• Stir together brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Once your dough has risen, turn out on a lightly floured surface and squish and stretch it GENTLY (we dont want to rip it) into an oblong shape and then use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 5 by 15 inches. Gently manipulate the corners and sides so you have a nice rectangle.
• Spread butter over the entire thing and top with the brown sugar mixture. Roll from the short side. Use a serrated knife or dental floss to cut the roll into quarters.
• Place in a 6 to 7-inch greased baking pan, cover tightly in plastic wrap, and place in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt, until well combined. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator.
• Take frosting out of the refrigerator to soften.
• Remove plastic wrap from rolls and place them into a cold oven. Turn your oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden and center cooked through. Watch closely--they go from pale to over-done very quickly. If they begin to brown too quickly, before the centers are done, cover with foil until finished baking.
• Spoon frosting over rolls. (If frosting is still very cold, return to pan to the oven for 30 seconds to a minute for frosting to warm up.) Spread frosting and serve.
