In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add milk, sugar, egg, and egg yolk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and allow it to sit until foamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Add flour and kosher salt, and mix until combined, about 2 minutes. Switch to the dough hook and knead on low for 1 minute. Add 8 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Knead until the dough forms a soft, sticky ball, about 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a large, well-greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 ½ hours. Punch the dough to deflate, then place onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into two rectangles, about 14×16 inches in size.
Using a pizza wheel or pastry wheel, cut each of the rectangles vertically into 6 strips (they should be short, about 14 inches in length), for a total of 12 strips. Using a pastry brush, butter the tops of all but two strips (you’ll use about 2 tablespoons of the melted butter). Stack 5 strips on top of each other, then place the unbuttered strip on top. Repeat with the remaining strips. Cut each stack into 6 equal squares for a total of 12 stacks.
Place into a well-greased standard-size muffin tin, and cut side up. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 175 degrees Celsius).
When the rolls have risen, remove the plastic wrap and place in the oven to bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown on the tops. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining melted butter. Remove from the pan and serve while warm.
