No Yeast Dinner Rolls Recipe

Flour: The base of the dough, providing structure and texture.

Baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the rolls rise without the need for yeast.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the rolls.

Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the dough.

Vegetable oil: Contributes to the tenderness and moisture of the rolls.

When mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overmixing can lead to tough dinner rolls. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to ensure a light and fluffy texture.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and more fiber, though it may make the rolls denser.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with gluten-free flour blend: For those with gluten intolerance, a gluten-free blend can be used, though the texture may vary.

• baking powder - Substitute with baking soda and cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar for each teaspoon of baking powder to achieve a similar leavening effect.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used in the same quantity and provides a slightly different mineral content and flavor.

• milk - Substitute with buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and can make the rolls more tender.

• milk - Substitute with plant-based milk: Almond, soy, or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free option, though the flavor and texture may slightly differ.

• vegetable oil - Substitute with olive oil: Olive oil provides a richer flavor and is a healthier fat option.

• vegetable oil - Substitute with melted butter: Melted butter adds a richer taste and can make the rolls more tender.

• Allow the dinner rolls to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the rolls soggy.
• For short-term storage, place the dinner rolls in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To keep the rolls fresh for a longer period, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, place the wrapped rolls in a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container.
• Label the container or bag with the date to keep track of freshness.
• Store the wrapped rolls in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• When ready to enjoy, thaw the rolls at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• For a freshly baked taste, reheat the thawed rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes or until warmed through.
• Alternatively, you can microwave the rolls on a microwave-safe plate for 20-30 seconds, but be cautious as microwaving can sometimes make the rolls chewy.
• If you prefer a softer texture, place a damp paper towel over the rolls while microwaving.
• Serve the reheated dinner rolls warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wrap the dinner rolls in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.
  3. Place the wrapped rolls on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place the dinner rolls on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them moist.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if needed, but be careful not to overheat as they can become tough.

• Stovetop Method:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly butter the skillet or use a small amount of olive oil.
  3. Place the dinner rolls in the skillet and cover with a lid.
  4. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through.

• Toaster Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the dinner rolls directly on the rack or on a small baking sheet.
  3. Heat for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Steaming Method:

  1. Set up a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water.
  2. Place the dinner rolls in the steamer basket.
  3. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, or until they are warmed through and soft.

• Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) to bake the dinner rolls.

• Mixing bowl: Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix in the milk and vegetable oil.

• Measuring cups: Measure out the flour, milk, and vegetable oil accurately.

• Measuring spoons: Measure the baking powder and salt precisely.

• Baking sheet: Place the formed dough balls on this to bake.

• Parchment paper: Line the baking sheet to prevent the rolls from sticking.

• Spatula: Mix the ingredients until just combined.

• Cooling rack: Allow the rolls to cool slightly after baking.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out all flour, baking powder, and salt before starting to streamline the process.

Use a cookie scoop: Use a cookie scoop to quickly form uniform dough balls.

Line the baking sheet: Use parchment paper to line the baking sheet for easy cleanup.

Preheat the oven: Start preheating your oven before mixing ingredients to save time.

Mix efficiently: Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to combine ingredients faster.
