These 30 Minute Dinner Rolls are soft, fluffy, and quick to prepare, making them perfect for last-minute dinner sides. Using active dry yeast and warm water, the dough is mixed and kneaded in a stand mixer, then baked to a golden brown in just 10 minutes. Brushed with butter right out of the oven, these rolls are a delightful addition to any meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 dinner rolls

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/8 cups warm water (around 114°F, not boiling)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups bread flour (all-purpose can be used alternatively)
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour (all-purpose can be used alternatively)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Other

  • Butter (for brushing tops after baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine warm water (1 1/8 cups), olive oil (1/3 cup), active dry yeast (2 tablespoons), and white sugar (1/4 cup). Stir lightly to mix the ingredients.
  2. Activate Yeast: Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the yeast can bloom. You’ll notice the mixture becomes puffy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  3. Add Initial Dry Ingredients and Egg: Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer and add 2 cups bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg to the yeast mixture. Start mixing to begin forming the dough.
  4. Add Remaining Flour: Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups bread flour while the mixer runs, allowing the dough to come together smoothly.
  5. Knead the Dough: Let the mixer knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. The dough should be fairly soft but not sticky.
  6. Shape Rolls: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place the balls evenly spaced in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Rest the Dough: Let the shaped dough rest for 10 minutes to slightly rise while you preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  8. Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the tops turn just golden brown.
  9. Brush with Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops generously with butter for a rich, glossy finish.
  10. Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly, then enjoy warm. Perfect for dinner sides or sandwiches.

Notes

  • Use warm water around 114°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Olive oil adds flavor and tenderness; you can substitute with vegetable oil if preferred.
  • All-purpose flour can be used instead of bread flour but may result in slightly softer rolls.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for the best flavor and appearance.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
