Delightful and fluffy breakfast rolls filled with savory ham and sautéed spinach, perfect for brunch or a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 105-115°F)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces cooked ham, diced
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to 105-115°F in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Mix the melted butter and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add the flour slowly, starting with 3 ½ cups. Mix until combined, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and set it in a warm spot. Let it rise for 1-1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough rises, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  6. Heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with spinach. Scramble until just set and stir in cheese if using.
  8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface.
  9. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and flatten them slightly.
  10. Spoon the filling onto each piece of dough, fold edges over, and pinch to seal.
  11. Place rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet. Optionally, brush with beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  12. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
