Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, self-rising flour, and milk until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and place each in a greased muffin pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, spread with butter if desired, and serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider substituting half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt to all-purpose flour. Ensure your dough is not over-mixed to keep the rolls fluffy. These rolls can also be jazzed up with herbs or cheese.
Serving Suggestions
These mayo rolls are best served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or with a spread of butter. Pair them with a hearty soup or salad for a complete meal. They also complement dishes like Filet Mignon With Mushroom And Onion Gravy beautifully, making them a versatile addition to any table.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mayo rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This method helps maintain their softness and prevents them from becoming chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, just scoop the chilled dough into the muffin pan and bake as directed. This can save you time on busy days.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative, try using avocado or Greek yogurt. Both options will provide moisture and a creamy texture, though they may slightly alter the flavor. Avocado lends a rich taste, while yogurt adds tanginess.
How can I make these rolls sweet?
To transform these rolls into a sweet treat, you can add sugar or honey to the dough. Consider incorporating chocolate chips or dried fruits for added flavor. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious breakfast option.
