I’ve lost track of how many times I have made these rolls in the last few months. Let’s just say it’s been a lot.
And everytime I’ve made them everyone has asked “Is this recipe on the blog?” I have been promising and promising it would be so now it is.
I found this recipe over at my friend Laura’s blog – Real Mom Kitchen.
Believe it or not these rolls only take 30 minutes to make. Start to finish. Really! And they are a yeast roll. The other thing I love about this recipe is that it makes a dozen good size rolls. You can make them smaller and make two dozen if you’d like. But with our reduced size family we don’t need two dozen rolls, we don’t really need one dozen either so I know a few nice teenage boys that I like to share them with.
You mix the yeast, sugar, oil and water together and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then you mix up the dough and make 12 balls and let them rest for 10 minutes.
And then in just ten minutes they look like this.
And then after baking for another 10 minutes they look like this!
And they taste as good as a roll that took two hours to make!
Of course the best way to eat a fresh, warm roll right out of the oven is with lots of honey butter!
There you have it – quick, easy and delicious! I promise!
Be sure and check out the Herb and Cheese Version I created too – it’s so good!.
Ingredients
- 1 C plus 2 Tbsp warm water
- 1/3 C oil
- 2 Tbsp yeast
- 1/4 C sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3 1/2 C bread flour (seems to work better but all purpose flour will also work)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- In your mixer bowl combine the water, oil, yeast and sugar and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Using your dough hook, mix in the salt, egg and flour.
- Knead with hook until will incorporated and dough is soft and smooth. (Just a few minutes)
- Form dough into 12 balls and then place in a greased 9 x 13 pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until golden brown.
Recipe from Real Mom Kitchen
Sounds yummy! Do you use the dough hook for mixing the first ingredients?
Yes, I use the dough hook. Enjoy!
Do you have to have the mixing machine that has dough hook and all that? I don’t have one of those, just a regular hand mixer is all I have.
If you don’t have a mixer with a bread hook you will just want to use your hands. A regular hand mixer won’t handle the dough too well.
Wow! My son loves rolls, I need to give these a try! I have trouble with yeast, do I just use regular yeast?
Yes, just regular yeast. Let me know how it works for you.
I love making bread. When I saw this recipe this morning, I was curious about how this could be done so quickly. I just finished making the rolls and they are fabulous. I actually made 15 quite large rolls out of this recipe. It looks like the speed comes from mixing sugar in with the yeast and water to proof. The only think I did differently was to brush the tops with butter half-way through the baking time and then again after they came out of the oven. Excellent recipe. I will be making these again!!
Can I use wheat flour for this recipe?
Maybe try half and half first – let me know how it works!
I’ve made these a number of times lately. They are so quick and good. I reduced the yeast to 1 1/2 Tbsp. and use half white flour and half wheat. Even better!! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Just printed this recipe to try this week. Looks super easy and super delicious. It reminds me of a recipe I made many years ago, over and over again, in a bread machine that eventually wore out.
What type of oil do you use?
I used canola oil but you could use vegetable oil too
Thanks for making it easy to print out. I was just trying to print out another recipe on another blog and there was no way to do it without all of the extra stuff. It would not print out right so I gave up.
I found this recipe on Pinterest and made it for dinner tonight. I followed the directions exactly and they were delicious! This was my first time making home made rolls from scratch and this recipe was so easy. Thank you for sharing it here and for making it so easy to print from your blog.

So glad you enjoyed it. They are so good and so easy
they look great! i am planning to make them real soon. would you know if the dough can be used to make cinnamon rolls too?
I have not used them for that but I don’t see why not. You may want to add a little more sugar to the dough as cinnamon rolls are usually made with a little sweeter dough. Give it a try and let me know!
i am planning on trying them for the cinnamon rolls REAL soon. i made these saturday afternoon and everyone here LOVED THEM!!! thank you so much!
I was thinking as I was making these rolls that this dough could definitely be used for cinnamon rolls.
I made these last night with a 50:50 blend of whole wheat and unbleached flour. Amazing little recipe for those times when you need something to round out the meal in a hurry. A keeper!
I made these the other day they were so light and yummy! I will definitely be making these again. The only problem I had was that the dough was really sticky. Was this a problem for you or could it be because I halved the recipe and eyeballed the amount of egg?
Kenni recently posted..I Love You, Honey(comb)!
That’s the same problem I just had. I found them on Pinterest, and am still waiting to see how they turn out. They’re in the oven now!
But, the dough was super sticky. Any solutions or answer for that?
Higher altitudes or damp weather may require more flour
Thank you! That was my issue too & I thought maybe flour would be the answer. Getting ready to pop my first batch in the oven.

Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
A friend of mine referred me to this recipe (and your blog). I love your blog and I LOVE these rolls. I made them for dinner tonight and OMG I am in love with how easy they are. My dough was super sticky – is that how it’s supposed to be? I ended up adding more flour so I could handle it easier. This is a dangerous recipe for me – so good and so easy.

Glad you enjoyed them. The dough shouldn’t be real sticky so just add more flour until it is nice and soft
What kind of flour? All-purpose or self-rising?
Nevermind…I read on for answer…thanks for sharing, can’t wait to make
I used Bread Flour in these. Made these tonight and these were the best light rolls that I have ever made…. Loved them and they were so easy.
So glad you enjoyed them! They are wonderful and so easy!
So glad your friend shared with you. The dough shouldn’t be super sticky so just add in some more flour. That should work great. Sometimes your altitude or even the weather can affect the stickiness of the dough.
Sounds yummy and easy – so what kind of flour are you using if not wheat flour? Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question, I’m from Germany
I used regular white flour. I have also used bread flour but regular white works great.
Thank you, Leigh Anne, so regular white flour would be wheat flour, right? Thanks
White flour is still wheat but I used white all purpose flour not whole wheat flour.
Did you use plain flour or self rising flour?
Just regular flour, not self rising flour. I have also used bread flour but it is not self rising
Do you use rapid rise (or quick acting) yeast or just the regular yeast for bread machines? Thanks! They look delicious!
I use just regular yeast
Just made these with 100% whole wheat flour. I just added the flour until it made a slightly sticky dough. They were amazing.
Good to know – I will have to give it a try. I have another fun version of this roll I made this last week I will post later this week.
Found this on Pinterest and made them tonight for dinner. These are the PERFECT hot roll!!!! I have already emptied out my so-so- recipes and replaced it with this one. They are super easy and taste amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you liked them. I’ve got a fun new version of them coming up later this week.
Made these rolls tonight for dinner. It was the first time I’ve made homemade rolls. Very easy recipe and simple to follow. They were very yummy! However, they tasted a bit floury (it’s a word right? ha). What do I do about that? I followed the recipe exact.
Ashley – Congrats on making your first rolls. As far as tasting “floury” just try adding the flour a cup at a time until the dough is soft enough and not too sticky that you can work with it. You want a nice soft dough, not sticky but not too dry either.
Hi!! I’ve been looking for a recipe like this one for sooooo long!!! thank you for sharing! It looks easy and delicious! my husband will love it!

I wanted to make these but I was wondering since I don’t have a dough hook if they would still turn out the same!
It will work it will just be more work!
Oooh, these look wonderful! It’s getting cold here, so today would be a nice day to bake!
Sparklee recently posted..Quick Update
Made these tonight! The kids LOVED them. Thanks for sharing another great one
Just tried these and they were a bit floury…had to add extra flour because the dough was sticky. Will definitely try them again another day!
Stuffed a few with cheese and a few others with the same filling we use for Pan de Jamon we make in my country (ham, olives, raisins….sounds strange but yummy). They turned out great!
I wonder if these could be made gluten free by using an all purpose gf flour? Hmmm. They look/sound delicious!
I haven’t tried it yet but probably will over Christmas break when my gluten free daughter is home. Let me know if you give it a try.
Thanks for sharing! I made these this morning — guys on tractors and combines loved them ! I did use milk for the water and used margarine or butter for oil. Then I made them into cinnamon rolls ! They are begging me for more ! I am glad I found you !
I think I screwed up somewhere. Made these for a small dinner party to go with crock pot BBQ ribs….and the dough didn’t form a ball.
I’m definitely going to try again. I think I used 1/2 c water instead of 1 c.
YUMMMMMMY!!! I have these in the oven now and can’t wait to taste them! So easy and fast – perfect for me! I think I’ll make them for Turkey Day too!! I will even post about them on my blog and will be sure to tell you when! (I do a foodie Friday
)
Thanks!!!
Tammy
Can the dough be made a day or more ahead of time and then baked? Or should they truly only rest for 10 min?
Thanks!
Reilly recently posted..Reading is WRAD!
Because it is so quick and easy to do I have never made it ahead of time. I have let them rest up to 20 minutes
I do not have a hook, is that okay?
Yes – I used a hook but you could use a wooden spoon and your hands. It’s just harder work!
.
There’s only two of us….I was trying to figure out if I could cut this in half. The only thing that might mess me up is the 1 egg. Think I could still just use a whole one and I’d be fine?
Think it should be fine. Enjoy
I made these but they turned out kind of crumbly, more like biscuits than yeast rolls. Any ideas what I did wrong?
I was wondering about this as well. Any thoughts? Thanks!
I made these Monday and froze them for our Thanksgiving dinner on FRIDAY….how should I heat them up again?
Thank you!

I usually put rolls/bread in a brown paper bag, rub the outside with a little water and then put it in the oven (the water helps the bag not catch on fire!) They heat up that way without getting soggy or dried out.
My sister has been making a version of these for years, but they’re one-hour rolls. I discovered I can let her recipe rise less and they still cook up large in the oven like your recipe! I will definitely try your version because we are a busy small family of 4 and 30 minutes is perfect!
These are sooo awesome! I have four kids and they rise and call me blessed when I make these!
thank you!
Taylor recently posted..The Family Bed.
Love it!!
Mine had soggy bottoms! Am in the UK so may have got the measurements wrong when transferring from your cups to mls/mgs. They looked lovely but were also a bit ‘doughy’.
What kind of yeast do you use? I normally use the packets and they come in 1/4 ounce portions, so I was wondering if there was something else I should use. Thank you!
I buy my yeast in bulk but you can use packages. One package of yeast is about 2 1/2 tsp of yeast. One Tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons. So you could use 2 packages of yeast and just be under 2 Tablespoons and it would probably be fine.
My husband made these rolls this week – they were great. The only problem he had was they were really sticky even after adding an extra cup of flour. He said that he never did get them to form into balls and had to just throw them into pan. He used bread flour and 3 pkg of rapid yeast, Do you think rapid yeast made a difference?
Could you tell me what a bread hook is?? Those rolls look delicious….
It is one f the attachments on my KITCHEN Aid for making bread dough
would love to make these for dinner but all I have is quick rising active yeast, how do you think that would work???
Don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I just wouldn’t use quite as much.
I LOVE this recipe!! My father in law (who is a chef) couldnt believe they only took 30 minutes!!! i taught him a thing or two
Thank you so much! (i am actually making them again as we speak!)
LOL – love it!! So glad you all enjoyed it.
I have been using this fabulous recipe for EVERYTHING! Plain rolls and anything that says to use a refrigerated dough. It’s so versatile!
They worked! I’ve tried so many different recipes and my dough never rose. Thank you for a great recipe! It was so easy to make.
So glad you had success with them!
Was so excited to try these and did this evening, but they flopped. Did not rise and would not bake through, stayed very doughy inside and I baked them for over 30 minutes. Just checked to make sure I had all the ingredients correct and had followed all directions. My yeast was brand new. Do you have any suggestions as to why this would happen?
Not sure what happened. This recipe works beautifully most of the time but have had a few people have a problem with it. Did your yeast proof? The only reason I can think of that they didn’t rise was that your water was either too hot or not warm enough and the yeast was not activated. This would cause them not to rise.
The water was not too hot. I used warm water. I thought the yeast looked good. I will try again with warmer water. Thanks for your advice!!!
These came out perfect! I never thought I could make good homemade rolls so quickly. Thank you so much.
So glad to hear they worked great for you!
spotted on pinterest & can’t wait ti try. The short rising time is fantastic – thanks for sharing

They will soon become your favorite roll! They are so easy and quick to make you’ll want to make them all the time.
These were so quick and easy and YUMMY!!! I have never made homemade rolls because I was scared to even try a recipe with yeast. Thanks for sharing this! I will be making these often and Im going to try and freeze the dough so I can just pop 4-5 rolls in the oven at a time. Have a blessed day.
This is a beautiful recipe!
I was skeptical good rolls could come from 25 mins of rising, but it sure proved me wrong! They were wonderful, and made just enough to feed me, my mom and daddy, and five siblings. Tasted great straight from the oven and flavored with a dab of homemade apple butter.
I could go on for ages, but it’s late and there’s church and stupid jr. high homework to get to :p
Thanks a bunch from southern Missouri!

Do I use Plain flour or self-rising? Thx
Just plain flour
I made these rolls they tasted great but they were dry. What did I do wrong? Or didn’t do right.
Not sure – maybe a little too much flour?? Glad they tasted good.
Have you ever doubled the recipe? We are having company for dinner and I need more.
I have not doubled them but I would think the recipe would double easily. If you try it let me know!
I had to add more flour to be able to handle to shape the rolls and thought they needed more salt. Thanks for the recipe.
i made them and they look great and smell great but they taste kinda plain. i followed the recipie to the t. suggestions
Try adding a bit more salt next time if they were too plain for you – Salt will enhance and bring out flavor.
I love the ease of these and have made them like 8 times, but I cannot get them to taste like much. They just don’t have much taste at all. How much more salt would you add? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Try increasing the salt by half and see how that works.
