2. Ingredients for Perfect Breakfast Rolls

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup additional butter for brushing – this adds that extra touch of richness to your breakfast rolls!

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Breakfast Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Dough for Your Breakfast Rolls

Mixing ingredients for breakfast rolls with flour, sugar, yeast, and warm water in a cozy kitchen, highlighting the dough preparation process.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with the yeast and sugar. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This ensures the yeast is active and ready to make your breakfast rolls rise beautifully. In another large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the flour mixture along with the melted butter and egg. Stir until it forms a dough. Alternatively, you could try these Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes!

Step 2: Let the Dough Rise to Perfection

Dough rising for breakfast rolls in a warm kitchen environment, showing the fluffy texture as it doubles in size under a towel.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. This step is crucial for achieving those fluffy breakfast rolls you love! While waiting, why not prepare some Turkish Eggs with Greek Yogurt to enjoy later?

Step 3: Shape the Rolls for Baking

Rolling out the dough for breakfast rolls on a floured surface in a bright kitchen, showcasing the preparation before cutting into roll shapes.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into squares or triangles, depending on your preference. Roll each piece tightly from one end to the other to form the classic breakfast roll shape. You could use this time to also make a Chia Pudding with Nut Butter!

Step 4: Bake the Rolls to Golden Perfection

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolled dough onto a greased baking sheet, cover them lightly with a towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes. This second rise ensures extra fluffiness. Once they have puffed up, bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for that extra flavor! For another delicious baked treat, consider these Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones.

4. Storage Tips for Your Freshly Baked Breakfast Rolls

To keep your breakfast rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw and warm in the oven! You can find more storing suggestions on Dance Around the Kitchen.

5. Serving Suggestions for the Best Breakfast Rolls Experience

These breakfast rolls pair perfectly with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads. You can also serve them alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad for a complete breakfast experience. They are perfect for brunch gatherings or a cozy family breakfast! Try them with Raspberry Lemon Brioche Rolls for variety!

6. FAQs About Making Breakfast Rolls

1. Can I use whole wheat flour for breakfast rolls?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture will be denser. Consider mixing both for a lighter roll. This can add a nutty flavor to your breakfast rolls.

2. How can I make sweet breakfast rolls?

Add cinnamon and sugar to the filling or top them with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for sweet treats. Consider a Banana Bread Latte to go with the sweet rolls.

3. Can I prepare the dough in advance for making the rolls?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise in the fridge, and shape it in the morning. This is a great time-saver for busy mornings. Or instead of preparing dough, you can always try this quick breakfast option: Best Creme Brulee French Toast Recipe You’ll Love

4. Can these rolls be made in an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake these rolls in an air fryer! Simply preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C), place the shaped rolls inside, and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as air fryers can cook food quickly. For another quick treat in the air fryer, check out these Crispy Air Fryer Churro Bites! These breakfast rolls can be a great and versatile treat!
