Ingredients
Dough
- 12 Rhodes Rolls (or homemade dough or crescent roll dough)
Filling & Coating
- 12 normal sized marshmallows
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch or 9-inch round baking dish, or alternatively, a muffin tin for individual rolls.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Shape Dough Circles: Press each piece of dough out into a circle large enough to enclose a marshmallow comfortably.
- Coat Marshmallows: Dip a marshmallow into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Fill and Seal Rolls: Place each coated marshmallow onto the center of the dough circle, then pinch the dough closed completely around the marshmallow to seal it inside.
- Coat Rolls: Roll each sealed dough ball in the remaining melted butter and then coat it evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring a sweet cinnamon crust.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the prepared rolls into the greased baking dish or muffin tin, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion.
- Rest before Baking: Let the rolls rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the marshmallow filling is melted inside.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey melted marshmallow center and warm cinnamon sugar coating.
Notes
- If using homemade dough, ensure it is proofed adequately before shaping rolls.
- For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and adjust salt in dough accordingly.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh from the oven as the marshmallow filling may harden upon cooling.
- Variations can include adding chopped nuts or drizzling with a simple glaze after baking.
- To make clean-up easier, line the baking dish with parchment paper.
- Ensure rolls are sealed tightly to prevent marshmallow leakage during baking.
