You Are Going to Love These Quick Dinner Rolls Because…
- They’re super easy using “Bisquick” mix with only minimum mixing and kneading.
- This recipe doesn’t require special steps and the dough can be frozen for future bakes.
- With just a quick rise, soft and tender homemade rolls can be on the table in minutes.
Ingredients
Bisquick: A versatile Bisquick mix can be purchased or made here.
Milk: Full-fat milk, buttermilk, or heavy cream will produce the best flavor, but you can use a non-dairy alternative.
Variations: Once baked, brush the tops of the dinner rolls with melted butter. This keeps them soft and adds subtle flavor. Feel free to mix in your favorite herb or seasoning blend to match the menu, or just a few sprinkles of dried oregano, rosemary, parsley, or thyme. Finely shredded cheese can be added in Step 3.
How To Make Dinner Rolls
- Proof yeast in milk. Stir Bisquick into the milk mixture.
- Transfer dough to a work surface and knead (recipe below).
- Divide dough into balls and place in a pan.
- Cover and proof. Bake until the tops are golden brown.
Tips For Success
- Be sure your yeast isn’t expired, when in doubt start with fresh yeast. As it proofs, the surface should be active, with small bubbles forming on the surface with a strong aroma.
- Be sure milk is between 100°F to 110°F for proofing the yeast. If the milk is too hot, it will kill the yeast and if it’s too cold, the yeast can’t activate.
- Avoid over-kneading the dough, or it won’t rise as high and the dinner rolls will be dense.
- A kitchen scale can help ensure the dough balls are the same size before proofing in Step 4.
- Tent the baking pan with foil if it appears the tops of the rolls are browning too quickly.
Storage Solutions
- Keep leftover dinner rolls in an airtight bag at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Freeze cooled rolls in a zippered bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat rolls in the microwave or wrapped in foil in the oven. They can be reheated from frozen.
