You can make homemade yeast rolls in no time at all with this 30 Minute Rolls Recipe.
I’ve lost track of how many times I have made these 30 minute rolls in the last few months. Let’s just say it’s been a lot. And every time I’ve made them everyone has asked “Is this recipe on the blog?” And now it is! There is also a video at the bottom of this post so you can see just how easy it is to make these delicious rolls.

At first I couldn’t believe that these rolls only take 30 minutes to make. Start to finish. Really! And they are a yeast roll. Also, I love that this recipe makes exactly a dozen dinner size rolls. It is the perfect size recipe for a family meal.

How to make 30 minute rolls.
First, 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. Next, place them in a 9 x 13 pan and let them rest for 10 minutes.
And then in just ten minutes they look like this:

Then you put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

And they taste as good as any roll that took you two hours to make! I recommend you eat them fresh and warm, right out of the oven. And with lots of honey butter!
There you have it! Quick, easy and delicious rolls in no time! It really is that easy.

For something a little different, be sure and check out the Herb and Cheese Rolls I created too. They are so good!

Could you proof in the fridge overnight? Such a great recipes!
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
I wouldn’t recommend it – this recipe is designed to be made in 30 minutes and the large amount of yeast is designed for rapid rising not overnight rising.
Ruth Brockelbank says
I made this recipe for a small family get together!! Everyone LOVED them! Wish I had made more than 12!!

Can rapid rise yeast be used in place of active dry yeast?
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
I haven’t tried it but it should work fine, just don’t need to proof the yeast. Let me know how it works for you.
