No Yeast Dinner Rolls Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1½ cups of whole milk
- 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Substitutions And Additions
CHEESE AND HERBS: Add parmesan, cheddar, rosemary, or Italian seasoning – you can customize these fluffy rolls for your particular taste.
DILL SEED: Add a small amount of dill seeds, about two teaspoons, to add another level of flavor to these savory biscuits.
FLOUR: You could also use whole wheat flour for these fluffy rolls.
How To Make This No Yeast Dinner Rolls Recipe
It’s amazing how much time you can save when you don’t need to let the bread dough rise. Let’s dive into making these scrumptious dinner rolls.
STEP ONE: To begin baking your dinner rolls, preheat the oven to 350°F. Then grease a 12-cup (or two 6-cup) muffin tin and set it aside.
STEP TWO: Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Use a sifter for the dry ingredients, making sure to work out any lumps.
STEP THREE: Add milk and mayonnaise to the mixing bowl and stir until all ingredients are combined.
STEP FOUR: Divide bread dough batter into equal portions between 12 greased muffin pan cavities.
STEP FIVE: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
PRO TIP:
If you would like to brown the tops, use a pastry brush to spread melted butter over the top of each roll.
STEP SIX: Place on the top shelf under the broiler for an additional three to five minutes until the tops of the rolls are browned.
STEP SEVEN: Allow dinner rolls to cool for five minutes in the pan.
STEP EIGHT: Remove from tin and place baked rolls in a serving basket to keep warm until serving.

I was unsure how these rolls would turn out with mayo and no yeast. But they turned out great. After I broiled the top, I took a butter stick and rubbed the tops of them while they were still hot. They were a perfect pair with the chicken tortellini
