A tender, fluffy breakfast roll recipe that can be made ahead for busy mornings or weekend brunch. These rolls are perfect for serving warm with butter or jams.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, activate yeast with warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape into a baking dish or individual rolls. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate overnight for easier morning baking.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for extra softness and shine.
