Start with the dough. Whisk together the yolks, egg, sugar, butter and buttermilk. Add 2 cups flour with yeast and salt and whisk well until combined. Replace whisk attachment with the dough hook. Add in 1 1/4 cups flour and knead on low 5 minutes. Add more flour, if necessary. Dough should be soft and moist, but not stickly. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and hand-knead for 30 seconds. Oil a large bowl and put dough in, then turning over so oil is on top also. Cover and let rise 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Butter a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out and gently shape into an 18 x 12 rectangle. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle the filling ingredients, leaving a 3/4“ border around the edges. Roll the dough lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2” rolls. Place the rolls, cut side down, in the baking dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
