Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup fruit preserves (like raspberry or apricot)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Sweet Filled Breakfast Rolls

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough (about 3 inches in diameter).
8. Place a small spoonful of chocolate chips, a spoonful of custard, and a dollop of fruit preserves in the center of each circle.
9. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place the filled rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your milk is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly.
• Kneading the dough well will help create a light and fluffy texture.
• Don’t overfill the rolls; a small spoonful of filling is sufficient to prevent spillage during baking.
• Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the gooey fillings without burning your mouth.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the chocolate chips with chopped nuts for a nutty flavor.
• Use different fruit preserves to match your taste, like strawberry or blueberry.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm spice note.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of warm chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
• A cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
