Low Cholesterol Yeast Rolls
Chewy, fluffy yeast rolls with a subtle sweetness and light oiliness, perfect for family dinners or picnics, suitable for those seeking low cholesterol options.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix yeast and warm water together and let it sit until frothy.
- Blend well all of the ingredients including sugar, safflower oil, Egg Beaters, and flour.
- Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and pinch off into individual rolls.
- Let the rolls rise to the desired size.
- Bake at 350°F until browned, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure your yeast is active, make sure the water is warm but not hot. If you don't have safflower oil, you can substitute it with canola or vegetable oil. For an added flavor twist, consider mixing in herbs or garlic powder. If you're short on time, you can skip the second rise; the rolls will still turn out delicious. Remember, for perfect rolls, keep the dough covered while it rises to prevent drying.
Serving Suggestions
These low cholesterol yeast rolls are perfect as a side for soups and salads, or can be enjoyed with butter or a spread of your choice. They pair beautifully with Hattie'S Chocolate Pie for dessert. Consider serving them alongside a hearty main, like a vegetable stew or grilled chicken, to round out your meal. They also make fantastic sandwiches when sliced.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover yeast rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour in this recipe. However, bread flour will give the rolls a slightly chewier texture. If using all-purpose, you may want to decrease the amount slightly to avoid a too-sticky dough.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, check that your yeast is fresh and active. Ensure that your water is warm, not hot, as temperatures above 120°F can kill the yeast. If the environment is too cool, place the dough in a warm spot or preheat your oven to a low temperature, turn it off, and let the dough rise in there.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After the first rise, you can shape the rolls and place them in the fridge overnight. Let them come to room temperature and rise a bit more before baking. This will enhance the flavor and save time on the day you want to serve them.
