Easy Dinner Rolls
Share
When fall hits around here, so do a whole mess of soups, stews and slow roasted, melt-in-your-mouth meats with hearty vegetables. But along with a brown sugar glazed pork loin or broccoli-cheddar soup, you can bet your buns there will be dinner rolls on the table, too!
These tasty rolls are simple to make, with no kneading necessary. Just mix up the dough, chill it, form the rolls, let them rise, then bake ‘em up to a beautiful golden brown!
Soft, fluffy and fabulous on the side of any flavorful fall meal. No to mention out of this world with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey!
Mix them up for your own special occasion this fall, or just for the fun of trying something new! You’ll absolutely love these rolls to munch on and mop up all the good stuff. You can also use them as slider buns, too!

Yield: Yields 24 rolls
Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105° F to 115° F)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Additional melted butter, optional
Directions:
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast and warm water. Let stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is stiff and not sticky. With your hands, gently form a smooth, round ball of dough.
Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil. Place dough into the bowl. Cover with a clean, dry towel or plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours or up to 3 days.
When ready to bake, grease a 13 x 9-inch pan. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 24 equal-sized pieces (a pastry cutter can help with this). Form each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows (6 rows by 4 rows) in the prepared pan. Cover with a dish towel and let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 minutes. If the tops are browning too fast, cover rolls with aluminum foil until finished baking. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired, and serve.
Enjoy!

Congratulations! Going over to vote now!
Love how easy these dinner rolls are. Homemade bread is a favorite around here, but we don’t always have time for the kneading, rising, etc.!
Congratulations! These rolls look great and are one thing I have not made before. Thanks for a great recipe.
I just voted for you-that’s awesome! I love that your entry is actually healthy too!
Congrats!
Is there anything better than a homemade roll out of the oven?!
CONGRATS Georgia!!!! That’s so exciting! Just voted for you :) PS. I love these rolls!
Just voted! Good luck!
Yay, congrats! Gotta go vote after this.
And these are seriously the fluffiest dinner rolls I have ever seen. Amazing! I applaud you on your bread skills. :)
Congrats! I need to vote ASAP! And these dinner rolls look so incredibly fluffy and light. I might just make these for Thanksgiving!
I made these rolls on Sunday and they were delicious! Did have to use 3 cups of flour after misreading the recipe liquid volume and insufficient salt (does need the full teaspoon) and they still came out looking the same as in your pictures. Used the leftover dough this evening to make ‘calzones’ using leftover meat sauce as the filling. My family enjoyed this recipe. Thank you/angela
The top of the recipe indicates it makes 12 rolls but in the instructions it says to roll out 24.
Also, I followed the liquid measurments but needed to use quite a bit more flour for it to be not sticky to the touch.
Baking them in the morning. I hope they’re delicious!
Thanks for noting that, Joshua! The recipe yields 24 rolls and has been changed to reflect that.
hi! I was searching for easy dinner rolls recipe and was wondering if I can use instant dry yeast instead? I live in the Philippines and I don’t see any active dry yeast in the grocery. Do I still need to proof it? Thanks! :)
Instant yeast is fine, but there is no need to dissolve it in water before using.
How long will the dough keep
Honestly, I’m not exactly sure but refrigerated up to 1 day should be fine. However, I’d recommend making the rolls the same day you make the dough.
