How to Make 30 Minute Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups warm water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 egg
• 3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to proof for about 2-5 minutes.
3. Add in the oil, salt, egg, and flour, one cup at a time. Mix with the stand mixer until combined.
4. Let the stand mixer knead the dough for about 4 minutes. The dough will be soft. Be careful not to add too much flour, as this can make the rolls dense. You want just enough flour to shape the dough into balls with oily hands.
5. Spray your hands with baking spray and shape the dough into 15 individual balls.
6. Place the dough balls in the prepared 9×13 baking dish and cover them with a dish towel.
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F and place the pan on top of the oven to let the dough rise while the oven is heating.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving. Enjoy!

How to Serve 30 Minute Dinner Rolls

Serve these rolls warm, right out of the oven. They are perfect alongside soups, stews, or as a base for sandwiches. You can also enjoy them on their own with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.

How to Store 30 Minute Dinner Rolls

To store leftover rolls, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw and warm them in the oven.

Tips to Make 30 Minute Dinner Rolls

• Make sure your water is warm but not hot. Hot water can kill the yeast.
• Don’t add too much flour. The dough should be sticky but manageable.
• For a nice golden top, brush the rolls with melted butter right after baking.
• If you want a flavor boost, try adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder to the dough.

Variation

You can add different ingredients to customize these rolls. Try mixing in cheese, herbs, or spices to create unique flavors. You can also make them sweeter by adding cinnamon and sugar for a breakfast treat.

FAQs

• Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
  Yes, you can use instant yeast. Just mix it directly with the dry ingredients without proofing in water.

• How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
  They should be golden brown on top. You can also tap the bottom of a roll; if it sounds hollow, it’s done.

• Can these rolls be made ahead of time?
  Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise in the fridge overnight. The next day, take it out and shape the rolls, then let them rise again before baking.
