Rolls(Yeast: No Kneading)
Soft, fluffy yeast rolls with a slightly sweet flavor, perfect for breakfast or dinner. Their tender texture pairs well with butter, jam, or savory dishes, suitable for family meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour boiling water over butter or margarine, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Add cold water, beaten egg, yeast mixture, and sifted flour to the bowl.
- Mix until all ingredients are combined, then cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Shape the dough into rolls with floured hands and place on a greased pan.
- Let the shaped rolls rise for 2 hours, or less if the kitchen is warm.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until slightly brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For additional flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough, such as garlic powder or dried oregano. If you're out of butter, you can substitute with vegetable oil or applesauce for a lighter roll. Make sure to measure your flour correctly; too much can lead to dense rolls. Using warm water for the yeast helps activate it effectively.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for accompanying soups or stews, making them a great side for your favorite Lemon Bisque Desserts. You can also enjoy them with butter or jam, or use them to make sliders. They pair beautifully with salads, like Society Salad, for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a resealable bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they stay soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast in this recipe without needing to dissolve it in warm water first. Simply mix it directly into the dry ingredients. The rolls may rise a bit faster, so keep an eye on the rising times.
What can I do if my rolls don't rise properly?
If your rolls don't rise, it could be due to old yeast or a kitchen that's too cold. Make sure your yeast is fresh and try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area. If necessary, you can also cover it with a damp cloth to retain moisture.
Can I add fillings to these rolls?
Absolutely! You can fill the rolls with cheese, herbs, or even sweet fillings like cinnamon sugar before shaping them. Just be cautious not to overfill, as this can make sealing the rolls difficult.
