Soft, fluffy, cholesterol-free hot rolls with a subtle sweetness and light texture, perfect for breakfast or dinner alongside soups, salads, or main courses.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the skim milk until warm enough to add yeast.
- Combine all other ingredients except flour.
- Gradually add flour a little at a time until the dough reaches a desired consistency that is not sticky.
- Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and shape into rolls.
- Let the rolls rise again until nearly doubled.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes or until hollow when tapped.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your milk is warm but not hot when adding the yeast, as too much heat can kill it. If you don't have canola oil, you can substitute it with vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. For a sweeter roll, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These cholesterol-free hot rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a side for dinner. They pair beautifully with soups, stews, or a fresh salad. For a special treat, serve them alongside Ice Box Cinnamon Rolls for a delightful brunch spread. You can also enjoy them warm with a spread of olive oil or your favorite jam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole milk instead of skim milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can use whole milk instead of skim milk if you prefer a richer flavor. However, keep in mind that this will increase the fat content of the rolls slightly, which may affect the texture.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Ensure your yeast is fresh and that the milk was at the right temperature. You can also try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area to encourage rising.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of your hot rolls, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. You can also mix in garlic powder or cheese for a savory twist, or cinnamon and nutmeg for a sweet version.
