Easter Breakfast Rolls
by Erin on April 10, 2009
These rolls are our traditional Easter morning breakfast. Just like Christ’s tomb on Easter Sunday, these rolls will be empty! Consequently, this is a fun and sweet way to explain to children why we celebrate Easter, and teach about Christs’ resurrection. They are easy to make the night before, and are very yummy straight out of the oven. In fact, be very very sure to serve them immediately after baking them; they are very good fresh and some of the ‘magic’ is gone when they have been out of the oven for an hour. I have only ever used homemade roll dough to make these. Use a small amount of dough, and try to seal them the best you can so that the marshmallows don’t leak out when baking. This is our mother’s recipe – she actually used this recipe when she taught TLC (technological life careers – included sewing and cooking) in Middle School – and Mindy and I were her students when we were each in 7th grade! :)
Easter Breakfast Rolls
submitted by Erin
1 package frozen bread or roll dough, thawed (or homemade roll dough)
6 TB sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 bag large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Divide the dough into individual roll sized portions. Press each portion into a flat circle. Place
1 large marshmallow in the center of each roll. Pinch roll dough very firmly around the marshmallow. Roll each into a seamless, or nearly seamless, ball with your hands. Brush rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture over rolls. Cover rolls with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight. On Sunday morning, preheat oven to 350°. Take rolls out of fridge and bake for 15 minutes until rolls are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake. (These may also be baked without sitting overnight. After wrapping the marshmallow in them, let them rise for about an hour or so and then bake them as usual.)

I am so glad you posted these just in time for Easter! I have only seen the recipe using canned crescent rolls but they are so chock full of fat and preservatives that I hate to use them. I’ve been wondering if they would work with bread dough. Thanks so much for your perfect timing!
I had forgotten about these! They are really yummy. And what a great idea for Easter morning.
My boys think these are so fun!! They make a really great Family Home Evening treat on the night you present the Easter lesson.
What homemade roll recipe do you use? Please share!
Hi Laurie! Any roll recipe would work, but my favorites are Buttermilk Rolls (already posted on The Sisters Cafe at http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/2008/09/amazing-buttermilk-rolls.html) and the Lion House Dinner Rolls from the Lion House cookbook. We haven’t posted that recipe yet on our blog, but I know that Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe has posted it and this is the URL to that recipe: http://mykitchencafe.blogspot.com/2008/12/lion-house-dinner-rolls.html. When I made the rolls this week I used the Lion House recipe. :)
Have a Happy Easter!
This is such a great idea!
I love the tie in with Easter, wonderful idea!
I love this Easter idea! I will definitely be trying this.
how fun! thanks for sharing with us :)
I made these last night for breakfast this morning. Kids enjoyed them and I liked how they tied in with Easter.
I had to bake mine for much longer than 15 minutes though (more like 30). They were sill doughy after 15.
OH MY! I just bet these are decadent! Wouldn’t I just LOVE to have a couple right now!!
I’ve never seen a ecipe like this before! Thanks, they look wondeful!!
Tried them. Loved them. I used Rhodes roll dough and they worked great.
I made your buttermilk roll dough to make these buns and to use for rolls for Easter lunch. The breakfast buns were delicious- I was so excited this morning knowing I’d have them for breakfast! The rolls turned out great for lunch, too. I even used your lemon marinade for grilled chicken. Thanks for all the great recipes! You seem like a great family!
These Easter breakfast rolls look absolutely delicious! Great job. Happy Easter!
I have made the Easter story cookies in the past with the kids and thought I’d try this for a change. My kids loved these! So sweet and delicious and of course we worked in the lesson of Jesus’ resurrection. Thanks for posting this!
Our family also enjoys these rolls as our Ester morning breakfast. It is wonderful to enjoy after a great Easter morning devotional.
Those look really yummy. I sometimes put marshmallows inside of crescent rolls before I bake them :)
I loved this recipe! It was so fun to tie in a yummy recipe with a special message. I told my kids that I was trying a new recipe and that I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but that I really hoped these would be hollow inside when they were done, just like the Savior’s empty tomb. Each one of my kids, after their first bite, excitedly said, “Mine’s hollow! It’s really hollow! It worked!” Thanks for helping our Easter morning be even more fun.
I love these! We made them in cooking class in middle school. So easy and so yummy! Interesting way to teach about Easter. I would have never thought about these rolls that way.

Thank you. I've been wanting to try these for my boys. Hope you have a wonderful Easter.
I am going to try to make these for Easter tomorrow. If I use the Lion House recipe for the dough will it still work to make them today and bake them tomorrow morning on Easter. Will they rise the same as frozen roll dough or do I need to make the homemade dough the same day? Thanks!
Yes, Lisa, that would definitely work. Any homemade roll dough would work, or store-bought dough. Happy Easter!!
