Ingredient Notes

How to Make Step by Step Recipe Instructions

  • If this is your first time making this recipe or any type of yeast roll recipe be sure to give yourself more than 90 minutes just so you don't feel rushed as you're learning.
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (this recipe can also be made my hand), add the sugar, yeast and warm water.
  • Allow to stand 3-5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Yeast and sugar dissolved in warm water.

  • Add the room temperature butter, not melted butter, and salt.
  • Add 3 cups of the flour and begin mixing and kneading to form a dough.
  • You may or may not need the entire last cup flour.
  • Add what flour you need to make a soft but still slightly sticky dough.
  • Knead for 3 minutes in your stand mixer or 5 minutes by hand.
  • In picture 8, you can see what my dough looks like with enough flour and after being kneaded. Notice how the dough has mostly cleaned the sides of the bowl.
  • The dough is now ready for the first rise.
  • Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in a draft free, warm place.
  • This should take 20-30 minutes.
Butter, salt and flour added to the yeast mixture and kneaded for 3 minutes.

  • Dump the risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Divide into 15 equal pieces. They don't need to be perfect just them as close to the same size as possible. If you want to measure them with a kitchen scale for exactness that's fine too!
  • Shape each piece into small dough balls.
  • Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the dough balls into the baking dish for the second rise.
  • Cover and let rise while your oven preheats to 350 degrees. (about 20 minutes)
  • Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes.
  • The tops should be golden brown.
  • Run a cube of butter over the hot tops of the rolls.
  • Let your rolls cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

Can I add herbs and spices to these?

Yes, check on my Garlic Butter Herb Roll version of these for amounts of seasonings and how much to add!

I needed all 4 cups of flour and still need more! Did I do something wrong?

No, you didn't. Most people will only need 4 cups of flour at most, however, I have had a small amount of people that for whatever reason still needed to add more flour and their rolls still turned out perfectly fine.

Can I freeze these rolls?

Yes, they actually freeze really well. Make sure they're completely cool before packaging up and putting them in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready. For more tips on freezing bread click here!

    I made these for Thanksgiving and they are scrumptious. Wednesday evening I mixed them, proofed them, formed the rolls, placed them in greased baking dish, and placed the dish in the fridge covered with lightly oiled plastic wrap. On Thanksgiving I took them out an hour (plus) ahead of baking. When the turkey came out the rolls went in & baked while the turkey rested & got carved. It made 15 egg free, milk free, perfect sized rolls for sandwiches tomorrow.
