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

PRO TIP:

The baking powder will help these rolls rise since there isn’t any yeast in them.

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.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

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.

How To Serve

These quick dinner rolls would be perfect to whip up on busy weeknights. Making your own bread is much better than store-bought and fluffy rolls make every meal better.

Add them alongside our creamy chicken pasta or chicken alfredo bake.

Of course, no pasta meal is complete without bread to mop up all the saucy goodness. Serve these rolls with creamy chicken pasta and baked rigatoni.

These easy dinner rolls can complete any dish, whether you’re eating them with delicious recipes such as our crockpot beef stew, or with your favorite comfort food dish such as our hamburger casserole.

Storage

We’ve got you covered with some handy tips on storing and reheating your fluffy creations.

MAKE AHEAD: After baking and allowing them to cool completely, store them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.

You can leave them at room temperature for up to one to two days. When you’re ready to serve, a quick warm-up in the oven will have them tasting just as delightful as freshly baked.

IN THE FRIDGE: In the refrigerator, you can store these homemade rolls in a plastic Ziploc bag or an airtight container for one to two days.

IN THE FREEZER: To store for longer, you can also store the bread rolls in the freezer for up to a month in a zip bag or airtight container.

    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
