Resurrection Rolls

These are delicious, fun little rolls to make for Easter time. 

Read the resurrection story in the Bible found in Matthew 27-28, Mark 15-16, Luke 23-24 and/or John 19-20. 

To make the bread dough:

1 1/8th cup of warm water

2 tsp dried yeast

1 Tbsp sugar

3 cups of flour

1 tsp salt

Filling ingredients: 

melted butter

marshmallows

cinnamon or other spices

sugar

• Use the dough setting on your bread maker, or hand mix the ingredients together and knead well for 15 minutes, allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, knead again for 5 minutes or until the dough is silky.

• Cut the dough into small pieces - about the size that would fit in a 1/4 cup and roll it out flat.
• Fill it with chocolate chips and a marshmallow rolled in melted butter and dipped in a cinnamon/spice/sugar mix.

{The marshmallow represents Jesus.

The melted butter and spices represent the embalming spices applied before burial.

The chocolate just makes it yummier.

The rolled out dough represents the tomb his body was laid in.}

• Fold all the edges carefully around the filling securing them by pinching the dough together.  
• Place on a greased tray. 

• Allow the buns to rise to double their original size.

• Bake at 180°C until golden.

• The inside of the roll will be chocolaty, gooey and hollow.

{The hollow bun represents the empty tomb.  

All that was left was the linen and spices His body was wrapped in. 

Sweet Salvation!}
