Ingredients
  

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast

½ cup whole milk, warmed

½ cup water, warmed

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)

2 large eggs

1 tsp salt

1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

¼ cup chopped green onions

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this to the yeast mixture.

      Combine and Knead: Add the melted butter and eggs to the mixture. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to bring the dough together. Once combined, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

        First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it's doubled in size.

          Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, in a bowl, mix the cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.

            Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough.

              Roll and Cut: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

                Second Rise: Place the rolls upright in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they puff up.

                  Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

                    Bake the Rolls: Once the rolls have risen, brush the tops with melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.

                      Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch, brush them with more melted butter and sprinkle with some coarse sea salt.

                        Enjoy your delightful Fluffy Sunrise Breakfast Rolls as a perfect start to your day!
