Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm milk (about 110°F)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled or chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend)
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the milk until it is about 110°F (lukewarm but not hot).
Add the warm milk, softened butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle approximately 16x12 inches.
Sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions evenly over the surface of the dough.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F. Take the baking dish out of the refrigerator and let the rolls sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Beat the egg and water together to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
