Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
- 4 eggs (for filling)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup optional: chopped green onions
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F/45°C). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.
Add the milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook of a stand mixer for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Whisk the 4 eggs in a skillet over medium heat and scramble until just set. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese, diced ham, black pepper, and optional green onions.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a round disk. Place a spoonful of the egg mixture in the center of each disk, then fold up the edges and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top of each roll with a little milk or melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, savory breakfast rolls!
