Instructions

Roll Dough

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).

First Rise

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.

Shape Rolls

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 don't 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.
