Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Cheesy Breakfast Roll

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter and the yeast mixture.
3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece into a small circle and place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center. Fold the edges over the cheese and pinch to seal.
7. Place the rolls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
• Knead the dough thoroughly for a soft texture.
• Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
• Ensure the rolls are sealed properly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked bacon or ham to the cheese filling for a savory twist.
• Use herbs such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning in the dough for added flavor.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Scrambled eggs or an omelet for a hearty breakfast
• A light salad for a brunch option
• Coffee or tea to complement the meal
