Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm milk
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Seasoning and Leavening Ingredients:
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform base for the breakfast rolls.
- Incorporate warm milk, melted butter, and egg into the flour mixture, ensuring comprehensive integration of all components.
- Utilize a stand mixer with a dough hook or hand-knead the mixture until a silky, pliable texture emerges, indicating proper gluten development.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased container, covering it with a clean kitchen towel to prevent surface drying.
- Allow the dough to rest and expand in a draft-free, warm environment for approximately 60 minutes, or until the volume doubles.
- Gently deflate the risen dough by pressing down, redistributing the yeast and releasing trapped air pockets.
- Prepare a clean work surface by lightly dusting with flour to prevent sticking during the next stage of preparation.
Notes
- Choose bread flour for extra chewiness and better gluten development, ensuring a softer texture in your breakfast rolls.
- Proof the yeast in warm milk (around 110°F) to activate it properly, preventing dense or flat rolls that won’t rise well.
- Brush the rolls with an egg wash before baking to create a beautiful golden-brown glossy exterior that looks professionally made.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use plant-based butter, making the recipe accessible to more dietary needs.
