Whether you’re in a hurry or looking to impress, these breakfast rolls are sure to be a hit. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a delicious breakfast roll, from preparing the dough to adding your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet active dry yeast (7g)
– 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– Your choice of fillings (e.g., ham, cheese, eggs, avocado)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the dissolved yeast mixture, melted butter, and milk. Mix until a dough begins to form.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
6. Roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch circle. Place your chosen fillings in the center of each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Fold the dough over the fillings and pinch the edges together to seal. Roll the dough to tighten it, creating a crescent shape.
8. Place the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with a little melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or a savory spread.
Enjoy your homemade breakfast rolls, and feel free to experiment with different fillings and toppings to create your own unique flavors. Happy baking!
