So, you’re craving something tasty but too lazy to spend forever in the kitchen, huh? Same. That’s exactly why Breakfast Rolls exist. They’re warm, fluffy, buttery, and make you feel like you’ve actually got your life together—at least for the 10 minutes it takes to eat them. Forget fancy brunch spots. You can whip these bad boys up right in your kitchen, pajamas and all.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

Here’s the thing: not all recipes deserve the hype. But these Breakfast Rolls? Total game-changer.

• They’re idiot-proof (I mean, if I didn’t burn them, you’ll be fine).
• They look way fancier than the effort required.
• You can eat them sweet or savory—translation: endless excuses to make them again.
• Bonus: your kitchen will smell like heaven. People will assume you’ve got your life figured out.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Alright, here’s the grocery hit list. Nothing weird, promise.

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (a.k.a. the white powder that makes magic happen)
• 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (one little packet of happiness)
• 2 tbsp sugar (because carbs love sugar)
• 1 tsp salt (don’t skip this unless you want bland sadness)
• ¾ cup warm milk (not hot, unless you want to murder your yeast)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (the soul of good rolls)
• 1 large egg (the glue holding it all together)
• Optional fillings: cheese, bacon bits, cinnamon sugar—go wild

Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, apron on (or not, we’re not judging). Let’s roll.

1. Activate the yeast. Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Wait 5 minutes until it gets foamy. If it doesn’t foam, toss it. Your yeast is dead. Funeral over.
2. Make the dough. Add flour, salt, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
3. Knead it. Either by hand (a mini workout) or with a stand mixer (lazy but smart). About 8–10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
4. Let it rise. Cover the dough and leave it in a warm spot for 1–2 hours. It should double in size. If it doesn’t, maybe your kitchen is Antarctica.
5. Shape your rolls. Punch down the dough (therapeutic, right?). Divide into equal portions, roll into balls, and place in a greased baking dish.
6. Final rise. Cover again and let the rolls puff up for about 30 minutes.
7. Bake time! Pop into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Optional flex. Brush the tops with melted butter. Because more butter = more happiness.

Boom. Your Breakfast Rolls are ready to steal the show.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not preheating the oven. Don’t be that person. The rolls deserve a hot welcome.
• Killing the yeast. Hot milk = yeast massacre. Keep it warm, not boiling.
• Skipping the second rise. Unless you like sad, flat pancakes masquerading as rolls.
• Overloading fillings. Yes, cheese is life, but too much and your rolls will explode like little doughy volcanoes.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No milk? Use water or almond milk. They’ll still work.
• Vegan? Swap butter with vegan butter and use a flax egg. They’ll be just as fluffy.
• Want dessert vibes? Sprinkle cinnamon sugar inside before rolling. Instant cinnamon Breakfast Rolls.
• Cheese addict? Stuff mozzarella in the center and let it ooze.

Basically, you can customize these based on your mood—or whatever’s about to expire in your fridge.

Storage Tips for the Recipe

• Room temp: Store cooled rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Keeps them fresh for 4–5 days, but microwave before eating unless you like cold bread (weirdo).
• Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.

Q: Do I really need yeast?
A: Unless you want hockey pucks instead of fluffy Breakfast Rolls, yes.
