These soft and fluffy 30 Minute Dinner Rolls are a quick and easy homemade bread option, perfect for weeknights, holidays, or any time you’re short on time. They deliver the comfort of freshly baked rolls without the wait of traditional recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (115–125°F)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to proof for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add oil, salt, egg, and flour (1 cup at a time) to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined, then knead with a stand mixer for about 4 minutes.
  4. Spray your hands with baking spray and shape the dough into 15 equal-sized balls.
  5. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pan and cover with a clean dish towel.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F and let the rolls rise on top of the oven while it preheats (about 15 minutes).
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter before serving.

Notes

  • Do not add too much flour; dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Olive oil can be used instead of vegetable oil.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure water is between 115–125°F to avoid killing the yeast.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can knead by hand for 6–8 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
