YEAST For best results, use fresh active yeast. To tell if yeast is still fresh, add some sugar to the yeast in warm water. If the yeast bubbles up after 10 minutes, it’s still good to use.
DAIRY Whole milk and full-fat butter will give the finished rolls a rich and mildly sweet flavor.
SUGAR Sugar activates the yeast. For extra fiber, use a half and half ratio of whole wheat flour to white, and for a gluten-free dinner roll, use a gluten-free flour blend and increase the yeast and water (or follow the instructions on the package).
EXTRAS For savory rolls, stir in some Everything Bagel Seasoning or some Italian Seasoning. And for a sweet spread, try this wonderful recipe for Honey Butter.

It’s never been so easy to make homemade dinner rolls:
- Combine yeast with warm water & sugar until foamy. Warm the milk, butter, sugar, & salt until melted.
- Mix flour with the yeast mixture, and milk mixtures.
- Knead dough until smooth, allow to rise.
- Punch down dough & divide into 12 balls.
- Shape balls into buns & place them in a greased casserole dish. Cover & let rise. Bake (per the recipe below) until rolls are fluffy and golden brown on top.
Tips for the Best Buns
- Measure the flour by spooning it into a measuring cup and then pulling a knife across the top to level the flour.
- Don’t add too much flour to the dough while kneading, just enough to keep the dough from sticking.
- Allow the buns to rise at room temperature away from temperature extremes. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap or parchment and a clean kitchen towel.
- Brushing the rolls with butter or milk helps them come out browned and glossy. Brush with additional butter when they come out of the oven to make them shiny.
How to Store
Keep dinner rolls in a zippered bag or covered container in a cool dry place, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days. Freeze baked and cooled rolls on a cookie sheet and then place them in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside. They’ll keep in the freezer indefinitely, but are best if used within 3 months. Let frozen rolls thaw at room temperature before serving.
