These Easy No Yeast Dinner Rolls are a simple way to get warm, homemade rolls on the table without waiting for yeast to rise. Made with basic pantry ingredients, these tender rolls come together quickly and bake in about 25 minutes.
They’re perfect when you need bread for dinner but don’t have time for a traditional yeast roll recipe. Serve them warm with butter alongside soups, stews, casseroles, or just about any family meal.
The recipe is also easy to customize. Use regular milk or your favorite milk substitute, and adjust the sugar and salt for a slightly sweeter roll. You can brush the tops with egg wash before baking for a little extra color, or brush the finished rolls with melted butter for a soft, buttery finish.
Easy No Yeast Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted or canola oil
- 11 tablespoons milk (3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons)
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups flour all-purpose
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter or canola oil, ½ cup milk plus an additional 3 tablespoons milk, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring as you go, until a soft dough forms. You may not need all of the flour. Add only enough to bring the dough together without making it overly dry or stiff.
- Divide the dough into 7 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each roll.
- If desired, brush the tops with egg wash before baking. You can also leave them plain and brush them with melted butter after baking.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- If desired, brush the warm rolls with melted butter before serving.
Notes
- You can use any milk or milk substitute (like almond or soy).
- To make a sweet variation, you can increase the sugar and decrease the salt.
