Pop Up Rolls
Pop Up Rolls are soft, fluffy, and quick to make bread rolls with a slightly savory flavor, thanks to the mayonnaise. Perfect for a quick snack or side dish, they suit all occasions and are especially loved by those who enjoy warm, freshly baked bread with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor or use sour cream for a richer taste. If you want a hint of sweetness, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. These rolls are great for brunch or as a side for dishes like Uncle Sonny's Meat Loaf.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Pop Up Rolls warm, perhaps with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor. They pair well with soups and salads, making them a versatile side. For a delightful twist, try them alongside Diabetic Pumpkin Chiffon Pudding for dessert, balancing savory and sweet.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pop Up Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, helping them regain their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to give it a gentle stir before dropping it into the muffin tins. Freshly baked rolls will taste best, but this method can save you time on busy days.
What can I use instead of self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. This substitution works well and will give you similar results in your Pop Up Rolls.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the rolls?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your Pop Up Rolls by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist, or mix in cheese for a cheesy flavor. You could even fold in chocolate chips or dried fruits for a sweet version, making them a fun treat!
