Homemade Dinner Rolls 
These soft, delicious dinner rolls are ready in one hour from prep to serving. That's really not long when considering how long yeast breads usually take to rise, knead, shape, rise again. (I don't bake yeast breads for that reason. I don't have the time or the patience.)
This recipe doesn't involve any extra work in the kitchen. I followed the idea of the recipe from Betty Crocker for soft breadsticks. It's simple to throw together and your family will feel so special that you made them.
HERE'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
- 1 package quick-acting active dry yeast
- 1 1/3 cup milk (105 to 115F degrees)
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour or whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- coarse salt
Dissolve yeast in warm milk with sugar in electric mixer bowl. Stir in 1 cup flour, oil, and salt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, scraping dough from side of bowl, until soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes.
Heat oven 400F degrees. Punch down dough in center and fold over a few times. Prep a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pinch off 1 inch balls of dough and quickly roll in palm of hands. Put 3 balls to one muffin cup, brush with melted butter; sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake until crust is light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Immediately remove from pan. Store loosely covered.
My four old helped me roll the balls of dough. She had fun making sure Mommy put three in each cup. She was able to help brush on the butter and sprinkle the salt. We had a good time together.
What! No kneading? This is now my favorite roll recipe. I really really dislike kneading. Hehehe
tee hee hee
Can you believe it? Now, you have no excuses for not making yeast rolls!
My Aunt Deb has been making dinner rolls like these for years. During the cooking madness of the holiday dinner countdown, I’ve watched her make a batch of yeast rolls an hour before serving dinner. I’m always impressed.
I do love a good yeast roll…and the no kneading-fab…especially with no long periods of rising. Thanks for sharing this!
I tried this recipe for the 1st time yesterday and I received nothing but possitive feedback.
Thanks for this recipe. I will be using it for Thanksgiving dinner.
God Bless, Sam
