Instructions
Creating Breakfast Rolls is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Heat the Milk: Warm the milk in a saucepan until lukewarm. Remove from heat and mix in melted butter.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Mix Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: While the dough rises, prepare your filling of choice. Mix together the ingredients for your filling in a bowl.
8. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick.
9. Apply Filling: Spread the filling evenly over the rolled dough.
10. Roll Up: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
11. Cut Rolls: Slice the log into equal pieces, about 1 inch thick.
12. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: During this rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
14. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
15. Glaze (Optional): If making sweet rolls, mix powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over warm rolls.
