- 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:
- 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.
Preparing the Filling:
- Cook the Sausage: Brown your choice of sausage until fully cooked. For a healthier option, try lean turkey sausage to cut back on unhealthy fats while keeping the flavor.
- Prepare the Eggs: Scramble the eggs and grate the cheese, giving you protein and calcium to support your nutritional goals.

- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese evenly over the dough.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into individual rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. This ensures a satisfying crunch outside with soft, cheesy, and protein-rich goodness inside.
Making the Sausage Gravy:
- Cook the Sausage: In a pan, cook 1 pound of sausage until done. If you prefer a heart-healthy option, choose a leaner sausage.
- Make the Roux: Push the sausage to one side and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 3 tablespoons of flour, stirring to form a paste. This creates the base for a rich, hearty gravy.
- Add the Milk: Gradually add 4 to 5 cups of milk, stirring constantly. Let the gravy thicken over 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If needed, add a cornstarch slurry to achieve the desired consistency.
Serving:
- Top the Rolls: Spoon the warm sausage gravy over the freshly baked rolls.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the richness of the cheese, sausage, and eggs encased in a fluffy dough, topped with the savory sausage gravy. The high protein content will keep you energized throughout the day, while the rich flavors make it a truly satisfying meal.
