Dough

  1. Mix the warm milk, sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. Add the melted butter, egg and egg yolk, then mix until combined.

Dough

  2. Tightly roll the dough from one long side to the other. Cut into 8 rolls and place in a baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  3. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Frosting
