Ingredients
Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. Just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to mimic the self-rising flour's effect. This adjustment will help the rolls rise properly and achieve a light texture.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor of your dinner rolls by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or spices such as garlic powder or onion powder. Cheese, like shredded cheddar, can also be incorporated into the dough for a delicious cheesy variant of these rolls.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To make your dinner rolls sweeter, simply increase the sugar to 1 teaspoon or add a bit of honey or maple syrup to the mixture. This will give your rolls a lovely sweetness that pairs well with savory dishes or breakfast spreads.
