Breakfast Rolls


  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 4 large eggs, scrambled
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cooked turkey bacon or turkey sausage, crumbled
  • ½ cup sautéed bell peppers and onions (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

For the Topping:

  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 2: Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

While the dough is rising, scramble the eggs and season them with black pepper and paprika. Cook the turkey bacon or sausage and crumble it into small pieces. Sauté the bell peppers and onions if using. Set everything aside.

Step 4: Roll Out and Fill the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Evenly spread the scrambled eggs, cheese, turkey bacon, and veggies over the surface.

Step 5: Roll and Cut the Dough

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice it into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet or in a round baking dish.

Step 6: Second Rise

Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise for another 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7: Brush with Egg Wash and Bake

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, or store them for later!
