Mixed Berry Sweet Rolls

The roll itself is light and fluffy and so tasty. The dough is easy to whip up, and only takes time because it has to rise. It uses ingredients I already had on hand and is the perfect versatile recipe that can be used for dinner rolls or breadsticks too!

I used some homemade mixed berry jam, and I think one of the best parts of this recipe is that it could be used with any kind of jam and that makes the possibilities basically endless!

How pretty do these things look? So swirly and sweet and berry-filled! You are going to want to make these ASAP.
