Achieving the right dough consistency is key to creating soft and fluffy rolls. As you knead the dough with the dough hook attachment, keep an eye on its texture. If it appears overly sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough seems too dry and isn't coming together, drizzle in a little warm milk or water while the mixer is running until it forms a cohesive ball.
Aim for slightly tacky, not excessively sticky. This balance ensures beautiful rise and perfect baking.

½ cup milk, warmed

Directions
In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is bubbly. For instant yeast, proceed immediately.
Add melted butter, egg, egg yolk, flour, and salt. Knead on medium speed with a dough hook for 5-8 minutes until non-sticky dough forms. Shape into a ball.
Place the dough ball in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours.
After rising, punch down dough and roll it into a 13x9 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Mix filling ingredients in a small bowl. Spread onto dough, leaving a ½ inch margin.
Starting from the longest side, roll the dough up into a tight log. Pinch the seam and cut off each end. Slice log into 9 equal rolls.
Arrange cut-side up in a butter-brushed oven-safe dish. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Bake rolls for 30-35 minutes until golden.
Once pulled, immediately brush with topping mixture. Optionally garnish with parsley flakes.
