Resurrection Rolls Recipe

Crescent roll dough: This is the base of the recipe, providing a flaky and buttery exterior for the rolls.

Marshmallows: These create the sweet, gooey center of the rolls.

Melted butter: Adds richness and helps the cinnamon sugar stick to the marshmallows.

Granulated sugar: Provides sweetness and a slight crunch to the exterior of the rolls.

Ground cinnamon: Adds a warm, spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the marshmallows and sugar.

When wrapping the crescent dough around the marshmallow, ensure that all edges are tightly sealed to prevent the marshmallow from leaking out during baking. Pinch the seams together and gently roll the dough in your hands to create a smooth, even surface. This will help achieve a perfectly golden brown exterior and a gooey, melted center.

• crescent roll dough - Substitute with puff pastry: Puff pastry can provide a similar flaky texture and buttery flavor.

• crescent roll dough - Substitute with homemade biscuit dough: Homemade biscuit dough can offer a more rustic and hearty texture.

• large marshmallows - Substitute with mini marshmallows: Use a few mini marshmallows to equal the size of a large one; they will melt similarly.

• large marshmallows - Substitute with marshmallow fluff: Spoon a dollop of marshmallow fluff as a filling; it will melt and create a gooey center.

• melted butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil can provide a similar fat content and a subtle coconut flavor.

• melted butter - Substitute with margarine: Margarine can be used as a direct substitute for butter, offering a similar texture and flavor.

• granulated sugar - Substitute with brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a deeper, molasses-like flavor and can provide a slightly chewier texture.

• granulated sugar - Substitute with coconut sugar: Coconut sugar offers a caramel-like flavor and is a more natural sweetener.

• ground cinnamon - Substitute with pumpkin pie spice: Pumpkin pie spice contains cinnamon along with other warm spices, adding a more complex flavor.

• ground cinnamon - Substitute with nutmeg: Nutmeg can provide a warm, slightly sweet flavor similar to cinnamon.

• Allow the resurrection rolls to cool completely on a wire rack before storing. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the rolls soggy.

• For short-term storage, place the rolls in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer, you can also store them in the refrigerator to extend their freshness for up to a week.

• To freeze the resurrection rolls, first wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap. This helps to maintain their shape and prevents freezer burn.

• After wrapping, place the individually wrapped rolls in a freezer-safe zip-top bag or an airtight container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of their storage time.

• When you're ready to enjoy the frozen rolls, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. For a quicker option, you can microwave them on a low setting for 20-30 seconds.

• To reheat the thawed resurrection rolls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• If you notice the rolls are getting too brown while reheating, cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning while ensuring they heat evenly.

• For an extra touch of freshness, you can brush the reheated rolls with a bit of melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon sugar on top before serving.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the leftover resurrection rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are warmed through and the crescent dough is slightly crispy.

• For a quicker method, use a microwave. Place the resurrection rolls on a microwave-safe plate. Cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out. Microwave on medium power for 15-20 seconds, checking to ensure they are heated evenly.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the resurrection rolls in the basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Air fry for 3-4 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even reheating.

• To reheat on the stovetop, use a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the resurrection rolls in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) to bake the rolls until golden brown.

• Mixing bowl: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in this bowl.

• Baking sheet: Place the wrapped dough on this sheet for baking.

• Pastry brush: Use this to apply melted butter to the marshmallows.

• Measuring spoons: Measure out the cinnamon and sugar accurately.

• Small bowl: Hold the melted butter for dipping the marshmallows.

• Spatula: Transfer the baked rolls from the baking sheet to a serving plate.

• Cooling rack: Allow the rolls to cool slightly after baking.

Prepare ingredients in advance: Measure out the sugar, cinnamon, and butter ahead of time to streamline the process.

Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven early: Start preheating your oven before you begin assembling the rolls to save time.

Assembly line method: Set up an assembly line with marshmallows, butter, and cinnamon sugar to speed up the wrapping process.

Seal tightly: Ensure the crescent dough is sealed well around the marshmallow to avoid leaks and save time on cleanup.
