Description
These no yeast dinner rolls are a quick and easy bread option perfect for any meal. Made without yeast, they rely on baking powder to rise, which means you can have soft, fluffy rolls ready in under an hour. Ideal for beginner bakers or when you’re short on time, these rolls have a tender crumb and a slightly buttery flavor thanks to mayonnaise or softened butter.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or softened butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature by the time your dough is ready for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and mayonnaise (or softened butter) to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not too sticky.
- Form Rolls: Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into 12 evenly sized rolls. Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake Rolls: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe lactose-free.
- Mayonnaise adds moisture and tenderness, but you can use softened butter for a richer flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough rolls; mix until ingredients are just combined.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a golden crust, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking.
