Instructions
Creating these delightful Breakfast Rolls is straightforward. Follow these steps for perfect results:
1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk with the granulated sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Mixtures: Add the yeast mixture and wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined and a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Fillings: While the dough rises, prepare your desired fillings. If using cinnamon and sugar, mix equal parts of both in a bowl. For savory options, chop your ingredients finely.
8. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread your filling evenly over the dough.
9. Roll Up: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into equal pieces, about 1-2 inches thick.
10. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan. Cover again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
12. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.
13. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving.
