Not ‘cinnamon rolls’ but breakfast rolls! Sausage, egg and cheese rolls with sausage gravy ’frosting’!

Ingredient List:
For the Dough:
* ½ cup warm water – Hydration is key to starting your day, and this will activate the yeast.
* ¼ teaspoon of instant yeast – Yeast helps the dough rise, contributing to a fluffy texture while keeping the meal nutritionally balanced.
* ½ cup full-fat sour cream – Adds richness to the dough while contributing essential fats for heart health.
* 4 cups of bread flour – Provides the base for complex carbs, supporting energy and sustained concentration.
* ½ teaspoon fine sea salt – Helps with electrolyte balance.
* ¼ cup canola oil – A source of healthy fats, promoting heart health and helping reduce bad cholesterol.
* 1 tablespoon of sugar – A small amount for flavor without spiking blood sugar levels.
For the Filling:
* Sausage – Opt for a leaner version like turkey or chicken sausage to reduce saturated fat, keeping it heart-healthy.
* Eggs – Packed with protein and essential vitamins like B12, eggs are a must-have in any nutritious breakfast.
* Cheese – Choose a lower-fat option to keep calories in check while still providing calcium, important for bone health.
For the Sausage Gravy:

Instructions:

* 1 pound of sausage – Adds rich flavor while providing protein for muscle repair and energy.
* 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil – Use a heart-healthy option like olive oil to increase good cholesterol.
* 3 tablespoons of flour – Thickens the gravy without adding unnecessary calories.
* 4 to 5 cups of milk – Rich in calcium and vitamin D, essential for bone health.
* Salt and pepper to taste – Essential seasonings for flavor.
* Cornstarch mixed with cold water (optional, for thicker gravy) – Adds thickness without unnecessary calories or fat.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preparing the Dough:
* Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine ½ cup of warm water with ¼ teaspoon of instant yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes until it foams up, ensuring your dough rises properly.
* Make the Dough: Add 4 cups of bread flour, ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt, ¼ cup of canola oil, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
* Knead the Dough: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This step helps develop gluten, which provides the structure needed for a fluffy bread texture. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
