Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter – cut into 4
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons yeast

How To Make Quick and Easy 1-Hour Dinner Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Dough – In a microwave safe container pour milk and add butter. Microwave for 90 seconds. Turn your tap water on to get it nice and hot. Pour milk and butter mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and add hot water, sugar, salt and 2 cups of flour. Using the whisk or paddle attachment, mix for 1 minute. Switch to a dough hook and add yeast and another cup of flour. Continue to mix and add the remaining flour until the dough scrapes the sides of the bowl clean. Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Let the Dough Rest and Rise – Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 5 minutes. Preheat your oven to 170 – 175 degrees. Take a stick of butter and grease the insides of a muffin pan, then set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls – Once the dough has rested and risen, divide it into 12 equal portions. Form each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased muffin pan.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls – Once the rolls are formed and in the muffin pan they are ready to go in the oven. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven (170 – 175 degrees) for 20 minutes or until they have doubled in size. Leave the rolls in the oven and turn the heat up to 350 degrees. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through. Remove from the oven and rub the tops of the rolls with butter as soon as they come out for added flavor and shine.

Step 5: Enjoy Warm – Serve your freshly baked dinner rolls warm from the oven alongside your favorite dishes. Whether it’s soup, salad, or a hearty main course, these soft and fluffy rolls are sure to be a hit at the dinner table.
