Resurrection (Easter) Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg beaten
- 3-3 1/2 cups flour
- 28 regular size marshmallows not mini or extra large
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 4 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Mix together the yeast, warm water, milk (heated in the microwave for about 1 minute), and sugar in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to grow/proof.
- Add the oil, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour and mix to incorporate. Keep adding the flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the bowl and is no longer sticky while mixing.
- Remove the dough from the bowl onto a clean surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into 28 equal squares.
- Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll each marshmallow into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon and sugar and place onto a dough square. Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, pinching the ends together to seal the dough. Roll the dough ball into the cinnamon and sugar mixture and place on a greased cookie sheet, seal down, about 1/2 inch apart.
- Cover the pan with a clean dish towel or saran wrap and place in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy warm!
