Grandma’s 20 Minute Quick & Easy Yeastless Bread Dinner Rolls
Step by Step Guide to Making Amish Dinner Rolls
This recipe is designed to be failproof even if you’re new to working with yeast. Here’s my exact process to get these rolls pillowy and golden every time.
Ingredients
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 ¼ teaspoons dry yeast
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Directions
1: Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (110°F is ideal).
Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy and bubbly this means your yeast is active and ready to rise.
2: Mix the Dough
Add sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture and stir well to combine.
Gradually add flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough begins to form.
3: Knead and Rest
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4: Shape the Rolls
Once risen, punch down the dough gently and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and arrange in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each for spreading.
5: Final Rise and Bake
Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush each roll generously with melted butter before baking.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the kitchen smells like home.
6: Serve and Savor
Let cool slightly and serve warm. They’re delicious with butter, jam, or used to mop up sauces and gravies.
