Here’s the ultimate fast & easy recipe 👇
🕒 30-Minute Dinner Rolls
Ingredients (makes about 12 rolls)
-
1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
-
⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
2 tbsp active dry yeast
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
½ tsp salt
-
3 – 3½ cups all-purpose flour
(Optional for topping)
-
2 tbsp melted butter, for brushing after baking
Instructions
1. Activate yeast
-
In a large bowl, combine warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar.
-
Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy and bubbly.
2. Add remaining ingredients
-
Stir in the egg and salt.
-
Gradually mix in flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Dough should be soft but not sticky — add a little extra flour if needed.
3. Knead briefly
-
Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 3–4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Shape the rolls
-
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces.
-
Shape into balls and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet (or in a 9×13-inch pan if you want pull-apart rolls).
5. Quick rise
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Let the rolls rest/rise for about 10 minutes while the oven heats up.
6. Bake
-
Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden brown on top.
7. Finish
-
Brush with melted butter right after baking for that soft, glossy finish.
💡 Tips
-
If you prefer slightly sweeter rolls (like Hawaiian style), add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
-
For garlic butter rolls, mix melted butter with garlic and parsley before brushing.
-
These freeze beautifully — just reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.
Soft, warm, buttery, and ready in 30 minutes flat. 🧈✨
