Steps:
- Roll out the crescent rolls and separate.
- Place two crescent rolls next to each other with the wide ends of the triangles overlapping to form a right angle.
- Show the marshmallows and explain that the color white represents purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read: Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.
- Dip marshmallows individually in the butter, then roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, coating evenly. Place one butter and cinnamon sugar coated marshmallow in each set of crescent rolls. Pull up the narrow ends of the triangles and wrap the crescent roll dough completely around the marshmallow, sealing well. It is very important that no gaps are present.
- Explain that each marshmallow represents Jesus' body which was wrapped (covered in sugar mixture) and placed in the tomb which was then sealed tight (closed up in the dough.) Read: Matthew 27:57-60.
- Use remaining butter to brush the tops of the "tombs" and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to taste.
- Bake on cookie sheet at 375°F for 14 minutes, or until the tops are a deep golden brown. Cool 1 minute in the pan. Serve and enjoy!
- When the "tombs" are ready to be served have each person break theirs open and experience the emptiness of the tomb. Explain that Jesus was raised from the dead and His followers were amazed to find the tomb empty. Read: Matthew 28:1-9.

Steps:
- Press the rolls flat.
- Place a marshmallow in the center of each roll and pinch the dough around it.
- Press the marshmallow-filled rolls into round-ish balls.
- Brush each roll with butter and sprinkle it with the combined cinnamon and sugar.
- Let the rolls rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Bake them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Just like the tomb on Easter Sunday, these rolls are empty!
- More notes: You can easily make as many or as few as you like! I usually just make 12, which is the perfect amount for a 9x13 pan. I also usually do all the assembly the night before so that on baking day I can just pull them out of the fridge and let them rise on the counter and bake. These are a perfect sweet breakfast for Easter morning!
- (I have listed this as making 12 servings, even though it makes 24 rolls, because we can never eat just one -- and prep. time includes rising.).
Tips:
- Selecting Fresh Ingredients: Always choose fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for vibrant, firm vegetables and fruits, and use fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Kneading Dough Properly: If making the bread rolls from scratch, ensure you knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a chewy and flavorful bread.
- Controlling Temperature: When baking the bread rolls, preheat your oven to the correct temperature and follow the recipe's instructions carefully. Proper temperature control ensures the rolls are cooked evenly and have a golden brown crust.
- Using Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or cilantro into your fillings or dips to enhance the flavors. Fresh herbs add a vibrant and aromatic touch to the rolls.
- Creating a Flavorful Dip: For the ultimate dipping experience, try making a flavorful dip using Greek yogurt, sour cream, or cream cheese as a base. Add herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a unique and delicious dip that complements the bread rolls.
Conclusion:
The Empty Tomb Rolls are a delightful and versatile culinary creation that can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or as an accompaniment to various meals. With a variety of fillings and dips to choose from, these bread rolls offer endless possibilities for customization. Whether you prefer a classic combination of ham and cheese, a vegetarian delight with roasted vegetables, or a tangy and refreshing Greek-inspired filling, the Empty Tomb Rolls are sure to satisfy your taste buds. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create these delicious and symbolic bread rolls that are perfect for any occasion.
