Easy Dinner Rolls
When it comes to cooking, I have very little problems. When it comes to baking, I am sometimes all thumbs and burn marks. Bread I specifically have issues with. It doesn’t matter if it pops out of a can or mixes in a bread maker, I swear I could set every timer in the house and STILL burn bread. But not these homemade yeast rolls! Ooh and you must, must make with these mashed potatoes so you can DIP THEM!!
Plus they make the best dinner side dish matching everything from macaroni salad to sweet corn pudding.
This dinner roll recipe makes 15 rolls but be prepared for everyone in your family to want more than one. And because they are pretty quick to make, you wont be intimidated or worried when it comes to this recipe. I bet you even have every ingredient already in your kitchen! If you prefer biscuits over rolls, try these homemade biscuits. They are divine too!
- 3-1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1-1/4 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 3 small packets, 0.25 oz each, instant, fast acting yeast
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
These are the BEST dinner rolls and only take about 15 minutes to whip up, 15-20 to rise and then an additional 15-20 for it to bake.
Easy Dinner Roll Recipe
Grease a 9×13 baking pan
with nonstick cooking spray. No one likes rolls to be stuck in a pan! Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl
, add measured out flour, salt, oil and egg.
In a separate bowl, add warm water, sugar and yeast and mix well until completely dissolved.
Add to mixing bowl with flour and stir well.
Dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl to create a dough ball in the center of the bowl.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide dough into 3 equal parts, and cut each third into 5 pieces.
Shape into a ball and place into prepared pan.
Let set for 15-20 minutes or until double in size.
(At this point, I place the pan with rolls onto the top of the oven and preheat it to 375. This allows the rolls to rise.)
Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 15-20 minutes or until brown on top.
Spread melted butter on top of rolls and return to the oven for 1 additional minute.
Remove from oven.
Let set for a few minutes before cutting apart and serving.
