Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a stand mixer, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Mix in warm milk, egg, and egg yolk.
- Mix Dough: In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add half of this flour to the yeast mixture. Mix at low speed, adding softened butter slowly. Combine remaining flour and cereal.
- First Rise: Increase speed and knead for 2 minutes until smooth. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix butter, sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Fill and Slice: Roll dough into a 20×14-inch rectangle and spread filling on top. Cut into 12 equal strips.
- Roll Spirals: Sprinkle cereal over filling. Roll tightly from one edge into a cylinder. Place in a baking pan.
- Second Rise: Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Bake: Bake for 28-30 minutes until golden brown. Let them rest for 10 minutes before frosting.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar and mix until combined. Spread over the rolls and top with cereal.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding more cinnamon to the filling.
Make sure not to over-bake the rolls; they should be golden brown and soft.
These rolls can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
