What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make one hour dinner rolls. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details and instructions.

• salted butter– I generally use salted butter for my recipes, but unsalted works fine too.
• buttermilk (no substitutions)- Use real buttermilk for this recipe, not the powder you can mix with water.
• all-purpose flour– All-purpose flour is the main dry ingredient for the rolls.
• granulated sugar– A touch of sugar sweetens the rolls slightly.
• rapid rise yeast– This yeast rises quicker than tradtional yeast. Find it in the baking section by the other yeasts.
• kosher salt– This coarse salt is commonly used in cooking and baking. Find it in the salt section of the grocery store.

How To Make Homemade Dinner Rolls

Preheat over to warm, 170 degrees F.

Melt Butter. Place butter, buttermilk and water into a heat proof bowl. Microwave until butter is mostly melted and between 115-120 degrees F. Transfer to bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attached.

Add Flour Mixture To Stand Mixer. Place 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt into a large bowl, stir to combine. With mixer running, slowly add flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula to clean sides of bowl as dough is forming. With remaining 1 cup of flour, slowly add little bits at a time so that dough mostly cleans sides of bowl. I usually only use 1/2 cup of the flour during this step. Use any left to flour countertop.

Knead Dough. Let dough knead on medium low for 4-5 minutes, using a rubber spatula to scrape edges of bowl. Transfer one of the pieces of dough to a lightly floured countertop.

How To Shape Homemade Dinner Rolls

Shape Rolls. A couple options for shaping rolls. For crescent rolls, divide dough into two equal pieces. Roll each dough into a 1/4 inch round. With a pizza cutter or pastry cutter, cut into 8-14 triangle wedges. Starting at wide end, start rolling dough to the pointed end of the dough. Place crescents into a lightly greased baking dish(s), placing 1/2 inch apart.Place into warm oven and turn off heat.

Let Rolls Rise in Warm Oven For 20 Minutes.Remove rolls from oven.

Preheat Oven To 375 Degrees F. Lightly brush tops of rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with a touch of kosher salt if you’d like.

Bake. When preheated, place rolls in oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, until just barely turning golden brown on top. Remove, brush with melted butter and serve. For best results serve warm. Store any remaining rolls in air tight container and gently warm up before re-serving.

This is how the crescent rolls look when rolled. Place about 1/2 inch apart to leave some room for them to rise.

Knotted Homemade Rolls Variation

Cut Dough Into Strips and Knot. To make knotted rolls, roll all dough that was made into 1/2 inch thick rectangle, close to 9×13 inches. Cut into 12 equal squares or strips and roll each piece into a long rope shape. Tie into a knot shape or start to knot and continue to wrap edges around circle and place into a 9 x13 inch baking dish. Place into warm oven and turn off heat. Let rise in warm oven for 20 minutes.

For both style of rolls follow these instructions.

Preheat Oven To 375 Degrees F. Lightly brush tops of rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with a touch of kosher salt if you’d like.

Bake. When preheated, place rolls in oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, until just barely turning golden brown on top. Remove, brush with melted butter and serve. For best results serve warm. Store any remaining rolls in air tight container and gently warm up before re-serving.

When baked, you have fluffy, golden beautiful rolls. Such a simple recipe to make for many occasions.

How To Serve Easy Dinner Rolls

Serve rolls with your Holiday dinners, soup night, Italian night, with pot roast, and even just to enjoy with butter and jam.

How To Store Homemade Dinner Rolls

After rolls have cooled, store them in a large ziplock bag. Warm in the microwave for 12-15 seconds to soften.

This is an example of starting the knot, but wrapping ends around both sides of circle.

Let rolls double and time to bake just as you would the crescent rolls.

Tips For Making Homemade Dinner Rolls

1. Don’t substitute any ingredients in the recipe. One of my most asked questions is, Can I use a substitute for the buttermilk. I would not.
2. Don’t rush the “rise time.” It’s hard to be patient when making rolls, but let the recipe do it’s job. It will be worth the wait!
3. Serve rolls with your favorite family dinner. They’re amazing with a salted butter, homemade jam and honey. Enjoy.
