Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and remaining sugar. Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down dough, then roll it out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface.
- Sprinkle fillings (sausage, cheese, etc.) over the dough.
- Roll dough tightly into a log and slice into individual rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought dough as a shortcut.
- For a sweet version, try cinnamon, sugar, and butter as a filling.
- For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, swap the butter and milk with suitable substitutes and use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Rolls can be made ahead and frozen for later enjoyment.
