Quick and Fluffy Homemade Dinner Rolls
Served hot out of the oven with butter or jam and paired with one of your favorite home-cooked meals, these dinner rolls do not disappoint. Your family will love them!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter (plus 1 tbsp. for basting)
- ¾ cup hot water (110°F)
- 1 tbsp. active dry yeast
- 4 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1½ tbsp. salt
Instructions
- Melt together the milk and butter in microwave. While the mixture is melting, turn your hot water on, and preheat the oven to 170°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, add the milk/butter mixture to the bowl, then add the water.
- Add the yeast and stir with spoon. Let sit 5 minutes or until the mixture starts foaming and bubbling (tells you that it is alive).
- Add the sugar and let sit again for 2 minutes (sugar feeds the yeast!).
- Add 2 cups of the flour and mix until incorporated. Add salt (salt kills yeast, add it last when possible). Add the other two cups and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Cover dough with saran wrap and let sit for 5 minutes to rise.
- Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray.
- Cut the dough ball into 12 pieces and softly form the pieces into balls. No, perfection isn’t needed.
- Set pan in oven for 20 minutes to rise or until rolls have risen about an inch above the pan.
- Turn the oven up to 350°F. Bake for 15 minutes, then baste the tops with butter. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!

Homemade bread is the best! Easy and quick are the two qualities I like in a recipe.
