Warm buttery Dinner Rolls with a crisp outside and soft inside that go great with just about any meal!
I love bread! Like really really love it!
A meal without bread always feels like it’s missing something for some reason. I grew up with a basket of rolls or a loaf of bread on the table so my tummy just expects it. And how are you supposed to completely clean your plate without a little bread to sop up all the remaining sauce or gravy?! 😉
These dinner rolls are simple and the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
They’re crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and buttery throughout. Served warm with a spread of butter alongside a hearty meal or a bowl of soup, it’s a beautiful thing.
You’ll just mix the dough and wait for it to rise before forming it into balls, brushing them with a little butter and baking them to golden goodness.
Nothing compares to home-baked bread, y’all! Enjoy!

Description
Warm buttery Dinner Rolls with a crisp outside and soft inside that go great with just about any meal!
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2–1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Whisk on low until well mixed. Switch to the paddle attachment.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter for about 60 seconds. Remove and immediately whisk in the warm water and milk. Add to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and beat with the paddle attachment on low speed until just combined and then on medium until a soft dough forms and sticks to the paddle, about 5 minutes.
- Place dough in a buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, until doubled in size. Gently press down into the dough to release some air. Divide dough into 20 balls and place about an inch apart on a buttered baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest while you preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter.
- Once oven is ready, remove plastic wrap and brush rolls with melted butter. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.
Oh goodness. I did something terribly wrong. One my dough didn’t form a ball before putting it in the bowl. After an hour and a half of rest, it did double in size, but it’s super sticky. Any suggestions? Was I supposed to mix the dry active yeast according to package directions? I followed your recipe step by step. Thanks!
Hi Sarah! I’m sorry to hear this. Were the liquids warm when you added them to the dry ingredients? Did you beat it with an electric mixer until it stuck to the paddle attachment? Did you remember to butter the bowl? It could be that your environment is just moister. Next time, I would suggest adding a little more flour at a time until it forms into a ball. You could also flour your hands to form the dough into small balls. Hope this helps and that you’re able to try the recipe again with success!
love your recipes I try to save paper and ink by just doing the ingredients and instructions and it still comes out with 4 sheets for this recipe. love the crispy but buttery rolls its a hit with my family.
Never tried the Better for Bread flour, but by the look of those rolls, it works perfectly! I grew up in a family that always had bread with every dinner, too…and I’ve definitely carried on the tradition 😉
