Small Batch Baking

There is nothing better than the smell of fresh baked bread coming out of your oven. But as empty nesters, taking the time to make a batch of rolls to add to our dinner just seems like too much work and we end up with more rolls than we need!

That is where small batch 30 minute rolls come in. They solve all the problems! They only take 30 minutes to make and there are only four of them!!

Ingredients for Rolls

  • All purpose flour
  • Dry Active Yeast
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Egg

How to Make Small Batch 30 Minute Rolls

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine warm water (105-115 degrees ) in a bowl with the yeast. Cover and allow to proof for 5 minutes or until foamy and bubbly.
pouring yeast mixture into flour
  • In a bowl of stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, oil, egg and your yeast mixture.
  • With hook attachment, knead until soft and smooth.
cutting dough into four pieces
  • Divide dough into four pieces and form into rolls.
  • Place in a greased 6 x 8 pan and cover. Allow to rise for 10 minutes.
rising dough in pan
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
brushing butter on rolls
  • Take some additional melted butter and brush over the top of hot rolls.

These rolls are so easy and quick to make you can add them to any meal or just bake up a batch when you are craving some fresh baked bread! Being able to make only four rolls at a time is pretty much life changing!

If you need more than four rolls, you can find the full batch version of these 30 minutes rolls here.

    I made these rolls and loved them. However i was confused about the extra 3 tbls flour and extra Tbls water? The recipe doesn’t say when if at all to use them. I found my dough a little too wet so just added some of the flour by folding it in at the end!! But they were lovely

      Christine, I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. The 3 Tbsp flour and the Tbsp water are part of the entire amount of flour and water and added in together. With these small batch recipes sometimes you need odd amounts of ingredients such as an extra tablespoon etc. All the flour and all the water are added in together – hope that helps.

    This is definitely a “keeper” recipe! We all loved these rolls and
    will be making repeatedly, so light and fluffy.

    I baked them in my Instant Pot and it couldn’t be easier… I also used Brown Sugar to give just a different sweet flavor. Awesome either way!

    Thank you Leigh Anne! 😉

    First trial, perfectly successfully! I rest it for one hour, make it very soft, fluffy. I like the texture. Use bread flour. Thank you, small batch fits me. Better than in bakery stores. Thank you again, appreciate it very much. Look forward to trying other recipes.

    You listed oil as an ingredient but no where in the directions does it mention it!
