Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
For the best results, keep these tips in mind:
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough a day ahead, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Roll and bake in the morning for fresh rolls!
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have beef sausage, turkey sausage or leftover chicken works well too.
- Storage Suggestions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These rolls can also be reheated in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.
- Perfect Baking: Keep an eye on your rolls during the last few minutes of baking; oven times can vary, and we want them perfectly golden.
