Is it possible to have homemade rolls on the table in 30 minutes start to finish? I read about this recipe on Real Mom Kitchen blog and just had to give it a try! We had them for sunday dinner yesterday and true to their name they were on the table in 30 minutes. OK, actually they took a little more than 30 minutes for me–more like 45 minutes total—but still pretty fast!! My boys LOVED them. They were a bit dense, but very soft with a nice smooth texture. I have to admit that I still like my favorite roll recipe the best ( buttermilk roll recipe found here which you can make the dough ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to a week until your ready to roll them out), BUT these were VERY good considering they are fast if you haven’t planned ahead. Next time I may try letting them rise for 20 minutes instead of 10, and see if they are a little lighter. So if you are short on time but want a warm, soft homemade roll–give these a try. I was very impressed!! Thanks Laura for sharing a great recipe!
Now I am off to explore the Tennesse Aquarium with my boys! Hope you all have a fun Labor Day!

Description
Delicious dinner rolls that are ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 cups plus 2 tsp. warm water
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 Tb yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar or honey
- ½ tsp. Salt
- 1 egg
- 3 ½ cups flour
Instructions
- Mix 1st 4 ingredients and let rest for 15 minutes. Add salt and eggs – gradually add flour. Shape into dinner rolls, or use in your favorite recipe that calls for dough. After shaped, let rest for 10 minutes. For rolls, Bake 10 minutes @400 degrees ‘till golden brown.
I just made them and I let them rise for about 30 min and they turned out light/fluffy the exact texture that I like BUT no flavor. I think that this recipe needs more salt (like double).
I love love LOVE this recipe!!! I found it last year & tried it when I had forgotten to make rolls, (my life’s curse) & everyone LOVED them! I now see no reason to ever make another roll recipe! I don’t think they’re dense at all. I think they’re perfect!
I just linked back to this site from my blog. these rolls really saved the day for me this week! so glad to have found you via pinterest!
This was the easiest recipe ever. My whole family loved them. It’s going in my cookbook of favorite recipes. Thanks so much for sharing.
I made these tonight and my dough was really sticky, so it made it hard to form. It stuck to my fingers badly enough that I pretty much just dropped it into muffin tins like I would for drop biscuits. Do you ever have to add more flour, and if so, how much more?
I love homemade bread! When I buy yeast I usually buy the active dry yeast that comes in three individual packets attached to each other. Do you know if I can use those? If so is one packet 1 tbsp?
If I am using instant yeast, how much should I use? Thanks for sharing your recipes.
I agree with the other comments…this is a good roll for a very quick roll. But I still prefer your buttermilk rolls! (And I also think they're better after they've sat in the fridge a few days). Thanks for the great recipes!
Wow, even 45 minutes is pretty amazing! I'm printing this out 🙂 Yet one more recipe to try.
I agree. Your buttermilk rolls rock!! I tried them the other day for the first time and they were amazing! I liked them better after the dough sat in the fridge for 5 days. Funny how that is… 🙂 But these rolls look great!
Those look great!!
I made these last night after seeing your post.
I thought they were light and fluffy enough, but lacked the true depth of flavor that a prolonged rising gives.
I would make again, maybe add a tad more salt to boost the flavor.
This looks so quick and easy. Thanks for sharing Melanie.
I have been making this very similar recipe for years and they are great! The dough also makes super quick, tasty cinnamon rolls, you've gotta try that!
Mary, I'll just answer for my sister Melanie since it looks like I've seen your question first. "T" stands for Tablespoon. (and fyi, if you ever happen to see a "t" that would stand for teaspoon. Normally they are abbreviated as Tb and tsp but sometimes recipes will just shorten them to T and t.)
Thanks for stopping by! Happy baking! 🙂
I've been wanting to try these! They look great!
these look so good and EASY….I am going to make these for sure!!
These breadrolls are fabulous , may i ask please what the T next to yeast is equal to , teaspoon o tablespoon o something else …thankyou in advance for your answer.
