For this recipe do not use quick rising dry yeast, since it is designed to raise breads quickly. This dough requires no kneading, and can be made up to 4 days ahead. Just take it out of the refrigerator, let rise and bake for perfect rolls every time.

Ingredients For easy dinner rolls

  • 1 c
    water, warm
  • 2 pkg
    active dry yeast
  • 1/2 c
    butter, melted
  • 1/2 c

How To Make easy dinner rolls

  • 1
    Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl. Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 mins.
  • 2
    Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Beat in flour, 1cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix (some flour may not be needed). Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or up to 4 days.
  • 3
    Grease a 13x9-in. Baking pan. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan. Cover and let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • 4
    Preheat oven to 375. Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 mins. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired. Break rolls apart to serve.
