Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, milk, self-rising flour, and oleo together until well combined.
- Melt 1/2 stick of oleo in a baking dish.

- Place the cut rolls into the baking dish with melted oleo.
- Turn the rolls to coat both top and bottom with oleo.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the oleo with unsalted butter. If you want to enhance the sweetness, add an extra tablespoon of sugar or incorporate a touch of honey. To ensure even baking, preheat your oven thoroughly and place the rolls in the center. These rolls can also be served warm with a spread like your favorite jam for a delightful touch.
Serving Suggestions
These Almost Yeast Rolls are perfect for breakfast alongside a hearty bowl of Tangy Vegetable Dip or as a side with dinner. They also pair beautifully with Yummy Sweet Rolls for a breakfast spread. Serve them warm, brushed with additional melted oleo or butter for a delightful finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm. This will help maintain their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to achieve the same rise. Use about 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, sprinkle a little extra self-rising flour on your work surface and your hands while rolling it out. This will help manage the stickiness without altering the recipe too much.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the baked rolls in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
