2. Ingredients for Perfect Breakfast Rolls
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Breakfast Rolls
Prepare the Yeast Mixture
In a small bowl, combine warm milk with sugar and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it’s foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the melted butter, egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until well combined. For a smoother and more consistent dough, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If you’re using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for 6–8 minutes.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape the Rolls
Once doubled, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place it on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Second Rise
Cover the shaped rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again for about 30–45 minutes until puffy.
Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15–20 minutes until they are golden brown and fluffy. For a glossy finish, brush them with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
4. Storage Tips for Your Breakfast Rolls
Once cooled, store the breakfast rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a sealed plastic bag for up to 3 months. To revive their fluffiness, warm them in a preheated oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
5. Serving Suggestions for Fluffy Breakfast Rolls
Enjoy these fluffy breakfast rolls with a spread of butter, honey, or jam. They pair beautifully with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, or a fresh fruit salad. For a heartier breakfast, fill them with cheese or ham before baking or serving.
To incorporate an extra protein touch, try serving alongside garlic parmesan chicken skewers for a well-rounded meal.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I make these breakfast rolls vegan?
Yes! Substitute the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg, and use plant-based butter or oil instead of dairy-based butter. These modifications will still yield soft, fluffy rolls.
How long do these breakfast rolls take to prepare?
From start to finish, including rising times, the recipe takes approximately 3 hours. The active prep time is around 45 minutes.
Can I add flavors or toppings?
Absolutely! Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough, or sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top before baking for added texture and aroma.
What can I do if I don’t have bread flour?
Whole wheat or all-purpose flour can be used as substitutes, but the texture may vary slightly. For best results, stick to bread flour for a light, airy roll.
