INGREDIENTS You Need

This Breakfast Rolls ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together. We’re talking about comfort food with a twist, baby!

2 cups all-purpose flour: The base for our doughy dreams.
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast: This is what makes our Breakfast Rolls rise to the occasion!
1 cup warm milk: About 110°F – not too hot, not too cold.
1/4 cup granulated sugar: For a touch of sweetness.
1/4 cup melted butter: Adds richness and flavor.
1 teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the other flavors.
2 large eggs: Adds moisture and structure.
1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled: For that savory goodness!
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Because cheese makes everything better!
1/4 cup chopped green onions: For a pop of freshness.
2 tablespoons melted butter: To brush on top of the Breakfast Rolls before baking.

No worries if you don’t have green onions – I use chives all the time in my Breakfast Rolls and they work just as well!

This Breakfast Rolls gets its amazing taste from the combination of savory sausage, cheddar cheese, and fresh green onions. It’s a flavor explosion in every bite! You can grab these items during your normal shopping trip!

Here’s my Breakfast Rolls secret that takes it from good to incredible: a dash of garlic powder in the dough. Trust me, it adds a subtle savory note that will have everyone asking for seconds!

I love adding extra cheese to my Breakfast Rolls for that extra kick of flavor. Don’t be afraid to experiment and add your favorite cheese!

For storage tips, I recommend keeping the Breakfast Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.

Let’s Make Some!

This is my favorite part of making Breakfast Rolls – watch the magic happen!

Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. This is where the magic starts happening!
Combine wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Don’t worry if your Breakfast Rolls dough looks a little shaggy at first – it will come together as you knead it.
Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten and gives the Breakfast Rolls a nice, chewy texture.
Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. In my kitchen, this Breakfast Rolls dough usually takes about an hour to rise, depending on the temperature.
Prepare the filling: While the dough is rising, cook and crumble the breakfast sausage. Shred the cheddar cheese and chop the green onions. Get all your savory goodness ready!
Assemble the rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
Add the filling: Sprinkle the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, and green onions evenly over the dough. Press the filling lightly into the dough.
Roll it up: Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Cut the rolls: Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal slices. I find that dental floss works best for clean, even cuts.
Place in pan: Place the Breakfast Rolls cut-side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Second rise: Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the Breakfast Rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. While your Breakfast Rolls are doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas!
Cool slightly: Let the Breakfast Rolls cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving. Your Breakfast Rolls should smell absolutely incredible right now, so grab one before they’re all gone!

This is my favorite part of making Breakfast Rolls – watching the dough rise and transform into something delicious. It’s pure magic!
