Weight Watchers Quick Dinner Rolls
Soft, fluffy, and quick to make, these Weight Watchers dinner rolls are perfect for a light meal or as a side. Made with self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and skim milk, they offer a tender crumb with minimal effort, making them ideal for busy weeknights or healthy gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and skim milk together until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into a muffin pan sprayed with Pam or non-stick spray.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can sift the self-rising flour before mixing. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt as a substitute. Feel free to add herbs or cheese to the batter for extra flavor. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, so consider making smaller batches if you’re cooking for one or two.
Serving Suggestions
These quick dinner rolls pair beautifully with soups or salads, making them a versatile side dish. Consider serving them alongside a hearty stew or the Western Sour Cream Dressing to enhance their flavor. They also work well as a base for sliders or as an accompaniment to a cheese platter for a casual gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes for a crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of Weight Watchers mayonnaise?
Yes, you can use regular mayonnaise, but it may increase the calorie count. Weight Watchers mayonnaise is lower in fat, which helps keep the rolls lighter. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider Greek yogurt as an alternative for a similar texture and flavor.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the rolls after baking. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm them directly from frozen in the oven.
What can I add to enhance the flavor of the rolls?
You can incorporate various ingredients to enhance the flavor, such as garlic powder, dried herbs, or shredded cheese. For a sweet twist, consider adding a bit of cinnamon and sugar to the batter, reminiscent of flavors found in American recipes like Fresh Apple Squares.
