During the week, other than a low sugar protein bar with my morning coffee, I’m not much of a breakfast eater. But when the weekend rolls around, I do enjoy making us a nice breakfast.

Usually some moon over Miami eggs and a pork product like bacon or sausage. Occasionally, a short stack of pancakes or hash brown casserole. However, all of that changes if I’m offered doughnuts or cinnamon rolls. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, I’m a sucker for baked treats with a base of sweet dough.

Wanting a quick and easy sweet treat to make for Easter weekend inspired me to create this cinnamon roll bundles recipe. If you know me well, you know that I preferr baking from scratch… unless it involves yeast. Baking with yeast drives me a little batty because it’s so finicky. Yeast wants the PERFECT temperature and humidity for it to rise. If the water is too cold, the yeast won’t grow…. too hot, and it will die.

See what I mean? Dear FINICKY YEAST: You hate me, and I just don’t have the patience for you. Buh-bye.

That’s why I use ready-to-bake cinnamon roll dough when I make cinnamon roll bundles.

However, if yeast is your thing and you enjoy making cinnamon roll dough from scratch, go for it! Just use the risen, unbaked dough to make the sausage stuffed cinnamon rolls.

If you want to make cinnamon rolls from scratch, here are recipes from blogger friends of mine that will be perfect to use:

Holly, from Spend with Pennies, has a copy cat CinnaBon recipe. *insert drool here*

Christi at Love from the Oven has a make ahead cinnamon rolls recipe.

There’s also a perfect overnight cinnamon rolls recipe from my sweet friend, Dorothy, at Crazy for Crust.

By using prepared, ready-to-bake cinnamon roll dough, you can prep the cinnamon roll bundles in about 8 minutes. I haven’t tried prepping and refrigerating them the night before you want to bake them, but as long as the dough is fully risen and ready to bake before you assemble them, I think that would work fine. When you’re ready to bake them, they’ll need 18-20 minutes in the oven.

A Saturday morning without these sausage cinnamon roll bundles is like a day without sunshine!

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place a silicone baking mat or piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
