Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spinach Ham Breakfast Rolls
  1. Proof the yeast by mixing warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy.
  2. Make the dough by adding melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture; gradually stir in flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic; let rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour.
  4. Prepare the filling by sautéing spinach, then mix with scrambled eggs and diced ham (and cheese if desired).
  5. Assemble rolls by rolling out the dough, spreading the filling, rolling tightly, sealing edges, and cutting into pieces.
  6. Let the cut rolls rise in a greased baking dish for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), brush tops with butter, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool rolls in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack; serve warm.
