Yesterday was all about faux breakfast. How about the real thing today? I've been making these Rose Rolls since I was a kid.

Fleischmann's Bake-It-Easy Yeast Book (affiliate link here and below) is far and away my favorite bread cookbook. The recipe for Rose Rolls comes from it, though I've made a few small changes over the years. Here's my version:
Rose Rolls
3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter
2 tsp. salt 1 egg
2 packages yeast assorted jams and jellies
1/4 cup powdered milk powdered sugar
Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and powdered milk in a bowl. Heat the water and butter until they are very warm (120°-130°F). Add liquids to the dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the egg and another 1/2 cup of flour. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Wrap the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Place the dough on a lightly floured mat and divide it into 18 equal pieces. Gently roll each piece into a rope, then wind it loosely to form a coil, tucking the end underneath. Place each coil about 2 inches apart on a Silpat-lined baking sheet.

Cover loosely with a clean towel and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled (about 1 hour).
Use your thumb to make 1" indentations into each coil, pressing to the bottom. Fill the holes with your choice of jams and jellies. Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
When the rolls are completely cooled, add a tiny bit of water to powdered sugar to make a glaze. Drizzle each roll with glaze.

Allow the glaze to set, then serve.
