Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry yeast with warm water and let it sit until foamy.
- Add sugar, salt, cooking oil, and egg to the yeast mixture and blend well.
- Stir in self-rising flour until a soft dough forms.
- Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins (small size).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from tins. Store remaining batter in refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the water is warm but not hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast. If self-rising flour isn't available, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt per cup. For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs or garlic powder. This recipe is quick and easy, perfect for last-minute gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These yeast rolls are delightful served warm with butter or alongside soups and salads. They pair beautifully with Potato Salad With Eggs for a hearty meal. For a festive touch, consider serving them with Holiday Cheese Balls at gatherings. They can also be enjoyed as a base for mini sandwiches filled with your favorite ingredients.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover rolls, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or resealable bag. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes for a fresh taste.

If you don't have muffin tins, you can use a baking dish to form rolls. Simply scoop the dough into a greased dish, spacing them apart, and bake until golden brown. Adjust the baking time as needed since larger rolls may take longer.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes, these rolls can be frozen. After baking, allow them to cool completely, then wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature and reheat as desired.
