20 Minute Dinner Rolls
Quick and fluffy dinner rolls with a hint of sweetness, perfect for weeknights or casual gatherings, suitable for all ages and easy to customize with your favorite add-ins.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix self-rising flour, mayonnaise, milk, and sugar (if using) well until smooth.
- Pour the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier rolls, consider sifting the self-rising flour before mixing. If you don’t have mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can serve as a great substitute, adding moisture and a slight tang. For a touch of flavor, try adding herbs or garlic powder to the batter. Make sure to keep an eye on the rolls while baking, as ovens can vary in temperature.
Serving Suggestions
These dinner rolls are perfect for serving with soups or stews, making them a delightful addition to any meal. They pair beautifully with thick 'N rich hot fudge sauce for a sweet twist as a dessert roll. Consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or as part of a festive dinner spread for a touch of warmth and comfort.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dinner rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain their softness. Alternatively, microwave them for 10-15 seconds, but be cautious not to dry them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you will need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every cup of flour to achieve a similar effect as self-rising flour.
What can I do if I don't have muffin tins?
If you don’t have muffin tins, you can drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a greased baking sheet, shaping them into round rolls. Just keep an eye on the baking time, as they may cook slightly faster or slower depending on their size.
How can I enhance the flavor of these rolls?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs like rosemary or thyme directly to the batter. This will give your rolls a fragrant kick and make them even more delicious.
