Mother'S Rolls
Soft, fluffy, and buttery rolls with a slightly sweet flavor, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Their tender crumb and golden crust make them a crowd-pleaser, especially suited for family dinners or gatherings where warm bread is appreciated.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place warm water, yeast, salt, sugar, oil, and beaten eggs into the bread maker.
- Set the bread maker to the 'dough' setting and let it knead and rise.
- When the dough is ready, form it into individual rolls.
- Allow the rolls to rise until doubled in size.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use bread flour for a chewier texture, or substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If you prefer a sweeter roll, consider increasing the sugar slightly. Ensure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have a bread maker, you can knead the dough by hand and let it rise in a warm place.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for family dinners or as a side to your favorite soups and salads. They pair beautifully with Gwen's Buttermilk Rolls for a diverse bread basket. Spread some Blackberry Jelly or butter on warm rolls for a delightful treat. Serve them alongside roasted meats or as part of a brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it after the first rise. Shape the rolls and let them rise before baking when you're ready. This method allows for fresh rolls right before a meal.
What if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it could be due to expired yeast or water that was too hot or too cold. Always check the yeast's expiration date and make sure the water is around 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast properly.
Can I add flavors to the rolls?
Absolutely! You can mix in herbs like rosemary or garlic powder, or even cheese for a savory twist. For a sweet version, consider adding cinnamon or dried fruits such as cranberries for a delightful flavor variation.
