Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a stand mixer, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Dissolve with sugar and let sit for 5 minutes. Add warm milk, egg, and egg yolk, then attach dough hook.
- Mix Dough: Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl. Add half to the mixer and mix on low until dough forms. Gradually add softened butter, then add remaining flour and cereal.
- First Rise: Knead dough on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: Mix together butter, sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- Fill and Slice: Punch down the risen dough. Roll to a 20×14-inch rectangle and spread filling. Cut into 12 strips.
- Roll Spirals: Sprinkle with cereal and roll tightly from the long edge. Place in a greased baking pan.
- Second Rise: Cover and let rise in a warm area for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Bake: Bake for 28-30 minutes until golden brown. Rest for 10 minutes before adding frosting.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar, then mix until well combined. Spread over rolls and top with cereal.
Notes
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
For an extra crunch, feel free to add more Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top before serving.
These rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh for maximum flavor.
