No Yeast Dinner Rolls Recipe

All-purpose flour: The base of the dough, providing structure and texture.

Baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the rolls rise and become fluffy.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the rolls.

Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the dough.

Melted butter: Adds flavor and helps to create a tender crumb.

When combining the flour, baking powder, and salt, make sure to sift them together to ensure an even distribution of the leavening agent. This will help your dinner rolls rise uniformly and achieve a light, fluffy texture.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and more fiber, though it may make the rolls denser.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with gluten-free flour blend: For those with gluten intolerance, a gluten-free blend can be used, though texture may vary.

• baking powder - Substitute with baking soda and cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar for each teaspoon of baking powder.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used for a slightly different mineral content and flavor.

• milk - Substitute with buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and can make the rolls more tender.

• milk - Substitute with almond milk: For a dairy-free option, almond milk works well, though it may slightly alter the flavor.

• melted butter - Substitute with olive oil: Olive oil can be used for a healthier fat option and adds a different flavor profile.

• melted butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil provides a subtle coconut flavor and is a good dairy-free alternative.

• Allow the dinner rolls to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the rolls soggy.
• Place the cooled rolls in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Ensure there's minimal air inside to maintain freshness.
• Store the container or bag at room temperature if you plan to consume the rolls within 2-3 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• For longer storage, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to preserve their texture and flavor.
• Place the wrapped rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the container with the date to keep track of their freshness.
• When ready to enjoy, thaw the rolls at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. For a quicker option, use the microwave on a low setting or defrost mode.
• To refresh the rolls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the thawed rolls on a baking sheet and warm them for about 5-10 minutes until they regain their softness and warmth.
• If you prefer a crispier exterior, brush the rolls with a bit of melted butter before reheating in the oven. This adds a delightful golden finish.
• Avoid storing the rolls in the refrigerator, as this can cause them to dry out and become stale more quickly.
• For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or herbs before reheating. This can elevate the taste and make them even more irresistible.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wrap the dinner rolls in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.
  3. Place the wrapped rolls on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place the dinner rolls on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover them with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if needed, but be cautious not to overheat as they can become tough.

• Stovetop Method:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly butter the skillet or use a small amount of olive oil.
  3. Place the dinner rolls in the skillet and cover with a lid.
  4. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Toaster Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the dinner rolls directly on the rack or on a small baking sheet.
  3. Heat for about 10 minutes, or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

• Oven: Used to bake the dinner rolls at a consistent temperature of 375°F (190°C).

• Mixing bowl: Used to combine the flour, baking powder, and salt with the milk and melted butter.

• Measuring cups: Used to measure out the flour and milk accurately.

• Measuring spoons: Used to measure the baking powder, salt, and melted butter.

• Wooden spoon: Used to stir the ingredients together until just combined.

• Baking sheet: Used to place the spoonfuls of dough for baking.

• Parchment paper: Optional, but can be used to line the baking sheet for easier cleanup.

• Pastry brush: Optional, but can be used to brush additional melted butter on top of the rolls before or after baking for extra flavor.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out flour, baking powder, and salt ahead of time to streamline the mixing process.

Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid greasing and make cleanup faster.

Warm the milk: Slightly warm the milk before adding it to the dry ingredients to help the dough combine more quickly.

Melt butter in microwave: Use the microwave to quickly melt the butter instead of waiting for it to melt on the stove.

Use a cookie scoop: Use a cookie scoop to drop uniform spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet for even cooking.
