Description
Soft, fluffy dinner rolls ready in about 30 minutes — perfect as a quick homemade bread side.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (115–125 °F)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or substitute olive oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3 ¾ cups all‑purpose flour
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it proof for 2–5 minutes.
- Add in oil, salt, egg, and flour (one cup at a time). Mix until combined, then let the mixer knead the dough about 4 minutes. (The dough should be soft.)
- Spray your hands with baking spray (or lightly oil) and shape the dough into 15 individual balls.
- Place the balls into the prepared 9×13 pan, cover with a dish towel, and let them rise while your oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (≈ 190–191 °C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
Notes
- If the rolls come out dense, it might be due to expired yeast, water being too hot/cold, or too much flour.
- These rolls are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Take out 15 minutes before serving or warm in microwave for ~30 seconds.
- Variations: brush with garlic butter for garlic rolls, sprinkle parmesan, or serve with honey butter.
- You don’t have to use a stand mixer — you can knead by hand or use a bread machine (use dough setting, then shape & bake).
