Miss Bea'S Rolls
Soft, fluffy dinner rolls with a hint of sweetness and rich texture, perfect for family dinners, parties, or as a comforting side for any meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together warm water, dry yeast, eggs, sugar, Wesson oil, and salt until well combined.
- Add all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix well until a dough forms.
- Place the dough in a large bowl and refrigerate; take out as needed.
- To make biscuits, roll out the dough with a small amount of flour.
- To make dinner rolls, place the dough in cupcake pans.
- Allow the shaped dough to rise in a warm place for 2 to 3 hours before baking.
- Bake at 450°F until the rolls are golden and done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. You can substitute vegetable oil for Wesson oil if needed. If you want to add a hint of sweetness, consider mixing in a bit of honey. If you're short on time, you can skip refrigerating the dough, but allowing it to chill enhances the flavor. Using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour can add a nutty flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for serving alongside hearty dishes like a Creamy Mashed Potato Bake or as a base for sliders. They can also be enjoyed with butter and jam for breakfast. Consider pairing them with a fresh salad, such as a Dairy Salad, to balance the meal.

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes for a freshly baked taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast in place of dry yeast. The amount remains the same, but you can skip the proofing step with warm water. Just mix the instant yeast directly with the dry ingredients before adding wet ingredients.
What can I do if my rolls didn't rise?
If the rolls didn’t rise, the yeast might have been expired or the water too hot. Ensure your yeast is fresh and the water is warm (about 110°F). If they still don’t rise, try placing them in a warmer area or letting them rise longer.
Can I add herbs or cheese to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or incorporating cheese can enhance the flavor of the rolls. Just mix in about 1/2 cup of your chosen ingredient when you add the flour for a delicious twist.
