Breakfast Rolls ingredients
Water: Combine the yeast in 1 cup of warm water to create the soft dough in this recipe.
Yeast: You need 1 TBSP of yeast to make these amazing breakfast rolls.
Sugar: Help the yeast rise by adding 1 TBSP of sugar to the water mixture.
Oil: Give the rolls the needed fats to stay moist as they bake by using 1 TBSP of oil.
Salt: Enhance the flavor by adding 1 tsp of salt.
Flour: The structural base of these rolls is 2 ½ – 3 cups of flour.
Toppings
Butter: You need 2 TBSP of butter, melted, to add a nice rich flavor to these rolls.
Cheese: Use 2 cups of shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, divided, for amazing flavor and texture too.
Bacon: For savory flavor and protein in this dish, you need 12-15 slices of thin bacon, cooked and chopped.
Sausage: Adding 6 breakfast sausages, cooked and diced, creates a hearty and filling dish.
Eggs: Using 4 large eggs, scrambled, makes this a full, complete breakfast.
Step by step on how to make Breakfast Rolls
Dough
Start by combining the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes, until the yeast is bubbling up.
Then add the oil, salt, and flour. Start with 2 ½ cups of flour, then add more until the dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. (I use a mixer for this part as it makes it just so much easier!)
Continue mixing for an additional 3-4 minutes, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. In cold weather, I like to turn my oven on for about 3 or 4 minutes, then turn it off and let my dough rest in the oven.
Prep
Before you begin assembling the rolls, a few ingredients need to be cooked beforehand. The eggs need to be scrambled, the bacon and sausage need to be cooked as well. Try this easy way to cook bacon to simplify one step. Feel free to use precooked bacon and sausage for this recipe, I did!
Once all those items are cooked and ready, get the oven preheated to 400 degrees F.
Assemble
Now spray your countertop with non-stick cooking spray and roll the dough out into a large rectangle about ¼″ thick. Then brush the dough with melted butter and spread the scrambled eggs across the top.
Proceed to sprinkle the shredded cheese on top (reserving about ½ cup for later), then spread the bacon and sausage. Crumble the bacon on top as you go, slice the sausage into small chunks to spread.
Then starting with one of the long sides of the rectangle, roll the dough up tightly, working from one end to the other end horizontally, then back again. Pinch the seams closed at the ends. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut 1 ½″ sections of dough from the large roll. This should result in about 15 rolls.
Bake
Transfer the sliced rolls onto a large greased baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and top them with the remaining ½ cup cheese.
Return the rolls to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and rolls are just beginning to turn golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops with melted butter again. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions for Breakfast Rolls
Accompaniments: Breakfast rolls filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese are a complete meal in themselves, but they can be enjoyed with some accompaniments for added flavor and nutrition. Here are some suggestions:
- Fresh fruit salad: A colorful and refreshing mix of seasonal fruits such as berries, melons, grapes, and citrus fruits can balance the richness of the rolls and provide vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
- Yogurt: A dollop of plain or flavored yogurt can add creaminess and tang to the rolls and supply probiotics and protein.
- Hash browns: Crispy and golden hash browns can complement the savory and soft rolls and offer carbohydrates and potassium.
Presentation Tips: To make the breakfast rolls look appetizing and appealing, consider these presentation tips:
- Slice them diagonally: Cutting the rolls diagonally into halves or thirds can expose the colorful and textured filling and create a visual contrast with the soft and golden crust.
- Arrange them on a platter: Placing the rolls on a large platter or tray can create a sense of abundance and generosity and encourage sharing and mingling.
- Serve them warm: Heating the rolls in a preheated oven or microwave for a few minutes can revive their crispiness and warmth and make them more satisfying and comforting.

YES!!! It is a really simple dough recipe. So glad you all liked it Leah!
Rhonda says
These look so tasty! Do you use the quick yeast or regular?

I used regular yeast.
MaryLynn says
Do these freeze well? Looking for something to make ahead, freeze and be available to pop in microwave for a quick breakfast.
Jessica says
Yes, they do freeze well! I like to wrap them in a damp paper towel while reheating in the microwave.
Estelle Stone says
Hi! What a great recipe! First of all: Can you use Gluten Free Flour in this recipe?
Also: Can you make the dough, put the filling in and refrigerate until the next day and then bake?
Thanks so much!!
Alison says
Estelle, I have never used gluten free flour for this myself but I am sure it would work great! Also, yes you can pre make it and then bake the next day for an easier breakfast! Enjoy!
Cherryl Ehlenburg says
These sound like something my family will love. I can’t wait to try them!
Lynette Edgecomb says
These are absolutely amazing!! Delicious!! Reheat well!! Different than the norm!! Easily modified by changing up the meats or adding sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms, squash or hashbrowns!! Just make sure all veg is sauteed enough the water in the veg is cooked out enough it won’t give the breakfast rolls a case of the sogs!! We also found these can be stepped up by serving with a side of a light cheese sauce, sausage gravy or if one feels ambitious, hollandaise sauce! So much “Scope for the imagination”!!
This is Lynette from the dreamed of but not yet realized blog “Sea Oats and Tumleweeds” signing off!!
Alison says
Lynette, Thank you so much! I love all of your suggestions and plan to try them out myself!
Nunn Connor says
Hey I was having issues with rolling the rolls. Any tips?
Jessica says
Sometimes it helps to have someone there to help you. I opt to go quickly and then seal the edges together so the roll stays put. Know that even if it doesn’t look great, the rolls bake out any imperfections!
SHAWNA LYNN ROPPOLO says
Can i use the seamless croissant dough with this?
Jessica says
I’ve tried this recipe with crescent dough and while it tastes great, it doesn’t turn out as pretty, just FYI. Also, you’ll need 2 cans of dough as they won’t hold as much as the homemade dough recipe!
Shannon says
I used the Pilsbury classic pizza crust dough, and that seems to work just fine!
Beth says
This is how I like my breakfast: quick, easy and filling! I love that this is a grab and go breakfast too!
Denay DeGuzman says
This morning our family enjoyed these delicious breakfast rolls. They were indeed as scrumptious as they look in the images right here on this page. Mmmm…. This recipe’s a keeper!
Pam says
Can these be made the day before
Jessica says
Yes, I’d just place foil over the top and pop them back in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes!
Jessica says
We used our last packet of yeast on these and it was totally worth it! Very yummy!
Nellie says
Hope you can find more yeast soon!
