Make incredibly soft and buttery dinner rolls that are perfectly fluffy in about one hour. This easy yeast roll recipe uses basic ingredients for fast homemade bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt into the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the flour.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Place the rolls close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  8. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for another 20 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  11. Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, brush the tops generously with the softened butter.
  12. Serve your soft dinner rolls warm.

Notes

  • For garlic butter rolls, mix 1/2 cup softened butter with 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon dried parsley. Brush this mixture over the hot rolls instead of plain butter.
  • If you want Texas Roadhouse copycat rolls, serve these with a side of honey butter.
  • You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for kneading if you prefer.
