These 30-minute dinner rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfect for a quick homemade bread option. With minimal rising time and simple ingredients, they’re ideal for last-minute dinners or holiday gatherings. The recipe uses active dry yeast with a short proofing and rising period to deliver warm, golden rolls in under half an hour.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Finishing

  • Melted butter, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Proof Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it proof for 2 to 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add vegetable oil, salt, egg, and flour gradually (about 1 cup at a time) to the yeast mixture. Mix with the stand mixer until the dough forms.
  4. Knead Dough: Let your stand mixer knead the dough for about 4 minutes. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky; avoid adding too much flour to keep the rolls light and fluffy.
  5. Shape Rolls: Spray your hands with baking spray to prevent sticking and form the dough into 15 equal-sized balls.
  6. Arrange and Cover: Place the dough balls evenly spaced in the prepared baking pan. Cover the pan with a dish towel to allow the dough to rise.
  7. Preheat Oven and Let Rise: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, let the dough rise on top of the oven; this takes approximately the preheating time.
  8. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny, flavorful finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use warm water (around 110°F) to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Do not over-flour the dough; slightly sticky dough makes lighter rolls.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for richer flavor.
  • The short rising time is key to making this recipe quick but still yields fluffy rolls.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for best absorption.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
