Sweet rolls with jam

Sweet rolls are my favorite thing to have with afternoon coffee. They are not too sweet but at the same time sweet enough to complement bitter coffee flavor. In Poland they are a very popular snack when you crave something that is a little bit sweet but not too much.  Enjoy the recipe!!

Cheers!!
