I am a self-confessed horrible bread baker. Let me rephrase that… I’m “still learning” how to bake bread. That’s better. Growth mindset!<\/p>\n

When asked in a recent podcast interview<\/a> what my biggest cooking fail was, it was with baking bread that came out hard as a rock.<\/p>\n

But you guys- these easy dinner rolls have completely changed my outlook on bread-making. And while I have yet to master that gorgeous rustic crusty loaf, these pull-apart rolls are so perfectly soft, fluffy, and delicious, and are so fast easy to make that they’ve given me renewed confidence to work with yeast dough!<\/p>\n

These rolls are perfect with any dinner, whether at your Thanksgiving table to sop up all that gravy<\/a>, or on a casual weeknight with a bowl of lentil soup<\/a>. And the leftovers, if you have any, are great for breakfast in the morning slathered with butter and jam or leftover homemade cranberry sauce<\/a>. I can’t wait to share how easy and fast this recipe is to make!<\/p>\n

What kind of yeast to use<\/h2>\n

The quick rising time of these rolls is from using instant dry yeast, also known as quick-rise or rapid-rise. You can’t use regular active dry yeast in this recipe and expect the same results.<\/p>\n

Instant dry yeast is yeast in smaller granules, which means they take less time to dissolve and therefore the yeast multiplies more quickly. In addition, instant yeast is often sold with added enzymes that help speed up the rise time. <\/p>\n

Many bread recipes that use active dry yeast require two rises, but when using instant yeast you only need one rise. This is one of the reasons this dinner roll recipe is so fast!<\/p>\n

How to make no-knead easy dinner rolls<\/h2>\n

Just whisk together instant yeast, warm milk, and honey until dissolved, mix in some melted butter, salt, and an egg, and stir in some flour with a spoon. Divide into 12 balls, place in a buttered baking dish, let rise, and bake! Then when they’re done, brush some melted butter on top. YUM.<\/p>\n

No electric mixing, no kneading. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n
