Petite Rolls
Petite rolls with a soft, fluffy texture and a hint of sesame, perfect for sandwiches or snacks, appealing to bread lovers and those seeking homemade baked goods.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large mixer bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt.
- In the center of the bowl, beat in warm water at medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Reduce mixer speed to low, beat in 2 more cups of flour, mayonnaise, and eggs for 2 minutes.
- Beat at medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in just enough of the remaining flour to make an easily handled dough, about 3 cups.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh yeast and ensure your water is the right temperature to activate it. If you don't have mayonnaise, you can substitute it with yogurt for a similar texture. Kneading is key to developing gluten, so don’t skip that step. You can also add herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. For a fun twist, consider making sliders or mini sandwiches with these rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These petite rolls are perfect as a side for soups or salads, or as a base for sliders. Serve them warm with butter or alongside a dipping sauce. They pair beautifully with Hope'S Mississippi Mud Pie for dessert. You can also use them for breakfast by adding scrambled eggs and bacon for a delicious morning treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover petite 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, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warm. This will help restore their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking. This can add more flavor to the rolls as well.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
Consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even some grated cheese directly into the dough. You can also brush the tops with garlic butter before serving for an extra flavor boost.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Make sure your yeast is fresh and that the water temperature is correct. If the dough is too cold, place it in a warm, draft-free area to encourage rising.
