2. Ingredients for Fluffy Breakfast Rolls

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
• ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• Optional toppings: melted butter, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or herbs

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Perfect Breakfast Pastries

Preparing the Yeast Mixture

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active and ready to use.

Mixing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes on low speed if using a stand mixer, or knead by hand on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until it doubles in size.

Shaping the Breakfast Rolls

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the excess air. Divide it into 8-12 equal portions, depending on your preferred roll size. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll.

Second Rise

Cover the shaped rolls gently with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until slightly puffed up.

Baking the Fluffy Breakfast Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash for a golden crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden and fluffy.

Adding Final Touches

Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush with additional melted butter if desired. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, or freshly chopped herbs for extra flavor.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Breakfast Pastries

Allow the rolls to cool completely before storing. Store them in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds.

5. Serving Suggestions for Your Morning Buns

These soft bread rolls are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm with butter, jam, honey, or cream cheese. They also pair beautifully with breakfast staples like scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage. For a more indulgent treat, try filling them with Nutella or custard before baking. Don’t forget to check out our Creamy Parmesan Spinach Mushroom Pasta for a savory side!
