Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the yeast and warm water in a mixing bowl and let it sit until foamy.
- Add sugar, shortening, salt, and cooled milk to the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Beat in the eggs, then gradually add the sifted flour, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly to coat with flour.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread it with your chosen filling, leaving a 1/3 inch border.
- Starting from one edge, roll up the dough as for a jelly roll, sealing the edge to form a roll.
- Place the roll seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
- Brush the top with cream and cover with a cloth, then let it rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough. You can substitute unsalted butter for shortening for a different texture. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it. For the filling, sweetened cream cheese or fruit preserves work well, and can even pair beautifully with Assorted Fruit Buffet.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful roll-ups warm, dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack. For a more indulgent option, try them with a dollop of whipped cream or alongside Parfait De Chocolate for a decadent dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This helps maintain their soft texture and prevents them from drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Simply mix it directly with the flour instead of activating it in warm water. The dough may rise a bit faster, so keep an eye on it during the rising times.
What kinds of fillings work well with this dough?
This roll-up dough is versatile! You can use sweet fillings like fruit preserves, chocolate spread, or cream cheese mixtures. For savory options, consider using seasoned meats or cheeses. Experimenting with different fillings can lead to delightful variations!
How can I tell when the roll is baked properly?
The roll is done when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Using a thermometer, the internal temperature should reach around 190°F (88°C). Enjoy the aroma as it bakes, and trust your instincts!
