INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE QUICK DINNER ROLLS
- Flour :325 g (2 1/2 cups)
- Slightly warm milk (not hot) :150 ml (1/2 cup +2 tbsp)
- 1 Egg
- Butter :50g (3 1/2 tbsp)
- Yeast (instant/active dried yeast):1 tsp
- Sugar :2 1/2 tbsp (30g)

HOW TO MAKE QUICK DINNER ROLLS
We can make quick dinner rolls in 4 simple steps.
1.Prepare the dough
2.Divide and shape the dough
3.Proof the dough
4.Bake the dinner rolls
1.PREPARE THE QUICK DINNER ROLL DOUGH
Into a bowl,lets add all our ingredients together and mix them to form a shaggy mass of dough.
Add the milk,sugar,yeast,egg,salt ,butter and flour and mix them together.
Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface .Knead the dough until the dough become soft and elastic.
Only a well kneaded dough can produce soft and fluffy dinner rolls .
How should i know my dough is kneaded well?
We can test the doneness of dinner roll dough.
If properly kneaded, the dough should stretch, without tearing or breaking, into a thin membrane that you can see through.
If we are using bread flour it is easy to attain this stage of dough (it may take around 10 minutes of kneading).As bread dough contains more proteins than all purpose flour.
But if we are using all purpose flour,it may take longer to attain this stage of perfection.
Our bread would still be good and soft even if our dough didn’t pass this window pane test.
But if the dough passes the window pane test ,and the one hour proofing,then it is guaranteed that your bread will be super soft and fluffy.
It will be so much easier if you are using a stand mixer to prepare the dough.In a stand mixer,just knead the dough for 8-10 minutes using the dough hook attachment.
2.DIVIDE AND SHAPE THE DOUGH
Once our quick dinner roll dough is ready,divide the dough into 15 equal pieces.For more precision,i weighed each of them and they were 40-41 g in weight.
Roll each piece of dough into small balls.tuck in the edges towards the centre and roll the balls into small round balls.
Place the rolls into a nonstick baking tray or on to parchment lined baking tray or on to a well greased baking tray.
3.PROOF THE DINNER ROLL DOUGH
Let the dough ball sit in a warm environment for about 60 minutes or until they puff up and get doubled in size.
After an hour,brush the top of those rolls with an egg wash.This will help to make our rolls shiny and golden brown in colour when they are baked.
Now they are ready to to go into the oven.
4 BAKE THE DINNER ROLLS
Bake the rolls in a 375 F preheated oven for 18-20 minutes.
top get burned too fast,
How to prevent the top of rolls from over browning ?
- Place an aluminum foil on top to prevent over browning,whenever you feel so
- You can place the baking tray way from the heating coils to prevent this issue..(i placed my baking tray in the lowest rack of the oven as the heating coils were on the upside)
If the dinner rolls are underbaked,the inside will be doughy and they smell yeasty.So bake sufficiently for 17-20 minutes.
HOW CAN I SUBSTITUTE EGG IN THIS QUICK DINNER ROLLS RECIPE?
Role of egg in bread making:
Eggs added to dough help with rising. A bread dough rich with egg will rise very high, because eggs are a leavening agent (think genoise or angel food cake). As well, the fats from the yolk help to tenderize the crumb and lighten the texture a bit. Eggs also contain the emulsifier lecithin. Lecithin can add to the overall consistency of the loaf.
So it is difficult to substitute something else for egg to get the same result.
At the same time, I can say that ,as we have used only one egg in this quick dinner roll recipe,we can easily replace the egg to make dinner rolls without much difference in texture and taste of the rolls.
As one egg is approximately 45 ml,just replace the same volume with milk or water.So you can add 3 tablespoon of water or milk in place of one egg.
Remember, this will not be equivalent to adding an egg.But i can promise you that it will be difficult to find any difference between the one made with and without egg in this particular quick dinner roll recipe.
HOW TO STORE QUICK DINNER ROLLS?
Once the rolls are completely cooled,place the dinner rolls in a plastic storage bag, or wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
Properly stored,these quick dinner rolls will last for about 3-4 days at normal room temperature.
In extremely warm, humid temperatures,the dinner rolls should be frozen for longer-term storage.
For freezing: Place the buns in a heavy-duty freezer bag or wrap the buns tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap and freeze.
Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for about 3 months.
HOW TO REHEAT QUICK DINNER ROLLS
Thaw the dinner rolls and then brush/spray some water on the dinner rolls and place them into a 350 F preheated oven for 5 minutes.
The dinner rolls will be soft and fresh and they smells too good.

I tried your recipe and made the mistake of forgetting the eggs and trying to fix the dough by adding more milk and water, until I saw the eggs lying nearby. I had doubled the recipe so I decided not to dump the dough because it was so lumpy even after adding the eggs and I just didn't have the heart so I put it in a container and left it on the side until dinner was over. It had risen quite a bit and I kneaded it a few times before cutting it in half and putting them in bread loaf pans to make 2 loaves of bread, let it rise and was ready to have a failed recipe. I must say that both loaves turned out wonderful and before my guests went home (family) we tore into the hot bread and were all in heaven because the bread was so light and delicious. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because after putting aside the "failed"dough, I followed the recipe for one batch and my dough didn't rise well and even after baking it was not very good, lots of air bubbles and not tender at all. I used a stand mixer and passed the window pane test. I might have made a mistake somewhere along the line but I don't know where. If not for the 2 loaves of bread that I baked later, I would have thought this was a terrible recipe. I'll try again and see what happens and revise my review because I love watching your videos and your challah bread is one of my favorites. Thank you for relaxing and inspirational videos.

Hi Bincy , I happened to find your channel accidentally and absolutely loved your channel. Tried the dinner rolls recipe without egg (I used flax egg)and they came out so good n the house was smelling so good. Thank you so much for the easy recipes.
But I had one small query with all the egg versions in the baking. Can I use flax egg or aquafaba instead of egg? Please let me know.
Thank you Shruti

Hi Shruti,I am so happy to hear you made this dinner rolls without egg and they turned out really well. While making bread, we can easily substitute 1 egg with equal volume of water(45-50 ml). For other baking recipes like cakes I use 1/4 cup yogurt(or a slightly acidic ingredient like apple sauce) and 1/4 tsp baking soda in place of one egg. Sorry,I have not tried flax seeds in place of egg..so not able to share my experience. Thanks for sharing the way you made this dinner rolls without egg.

When the search pulls up for quick dinner rolls it shouldn't take an hour to rise.I started following the recipe and in the end it surprised me with 60 min rise time! Not quick.
