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.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  • 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.

    If I have the time, should I let them rise longer than 10 minutes? Will that make them lighter and fluffier? Also, could I make this a double batch? Most recipes are 12+ rolls and that’s too many but 4 may not be enough. Thanks!

      Yes you can let them rise longer if you want them fluffier and I have a full size version of the recipe here on the blog that makes 12 rolls

    I made the 4-roll batch, and they were perfect. We had BBQ pulled pork sandwiches on them. I used the remaining egg, brushed on top as an egg wash. It made them perfectly glossy and golden brown. I am making 12 rolls for thanksgiving dinner (small group). They will be perfect again, I am sure.
