These quick yeast-free dinner rolls are super soft and fluffy and come together in 40 minutes flat with only 4 ingredients. Perfect side rolls for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or summer BBQs!
Add the softened butter and milk, and use the dough hook attachment to knead the dough on low speed for 2-3 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough.
5 tbsp butter, 1 1/2 cups whole milk
Divide the dough into 16 portions to make small dinner bread rolls, or into 8 portions for large bread rolls.
To shape the dinner rolls, gently pull the outer edges up and towards the center of the dough and pinch them together. Cup your hand over the ball and move your hand in a small circular motion to create tension and nicely shaped dinner rolls.
Place the shaped rolls into the baking dish side by side. You want the edges to touch. Brush them with extra milk.
Bake the rolls for 30 minutes until fluffy and golden brown. Remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve while warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: You can substitute self-rising flour with 5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp of baking powder, and 1 1/4 tsp of salt.Note 2: I prefer unsweetened dinner rolls but you can add 1-2 tbsp of sugar along the flour to add some sweetness.Storage: You can store the dinner rolls at room temperature for 3 days. Wrap them in a towel or store them in a bread box. Reheat and enjoy!
