Easy Beer Rolls
Easy Beer Rolls are soft, fluffy bread rolls with a subtle beer flavor, perfect for quick snacks, breakfast, or serving alongside meals. Suitable for beginners and casual bakers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the Bisquick, beer, and sugar until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish or drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, mix the ingredients just until combined; overmixing can lead to dense rolls. If you don't have beer on hand, club soda or sparkling water can be a suitable substitute, adding the same leavening effect. Experiment with different beer types for unique flavors, or consider using a homemade baking mix like Home Prepared Bisquick Mix for a fresher taste.
Serving Suggestions
These beer rolls make a delightful side for grilled meats or stews. Serve them alongside dishes like Cornish Game Hens With Apricot Chutney or pair them with a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They're also fantastic as a snack with butter or jam, and perfect for hosting gatherings or casual get-togethers.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover beer rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a non-alcoholic beer for this recipe?
Yes, non-alcoholic beer can be used as a substitute in this recipe. It will provide similar flavors and help with the rise of the rolls. Just ensure the non-alcoholic beer is carbonated for the best results.
What can I do if the batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, add a little more beer, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a spoonable consistency. Be careful not to add too much liquid at once, as you want to maintain the integrity of the rolls.
How can I make these beer rolls vegan?
To make these rolls vegan, simply substitute the beer with a vegan-friendly brew and ensure that the Bisquick used does not contain any animal-derived ingredients, or use a homemade version. The sugar should also be checked to confirm that it is vegan.
