In the old days, making dinner baked goods from scratch was an incredible chore. Yes, in the days before the Internet, I had to make a number of dinner rolls from scratch and the only bread machine we had in the restaurant was this big, bulky mixing machine with a gigantic dough hook. Also, it wasn’t anything on auto-pilot by any means.

Fortunately, all those steps are automated for making yeast rolls for bread machine usage. Let’s make the best bread machine yeast rolls now.

2. With it being a simple dough pile, you cut it into 4 somewhat even dough chunks. Then, in order to begin to be a type of roll, you shape it into 4 loaves, and cut each one into 6 pieces.
3. Then, roll up each dough piece into a ball and put them all onto a couple of baking sheets.
4. Finally, cover the dough balls for them to rise after 45 minutes and you bake them.

What to brush dinner rolls with before baking

This recipe calls for brushing them with melted butter. There are other recipes that might call for brushing with water or milk but we don’t follow that mantra. We brush them with butter before baking and then sometimes again after they’re out of the oven for a few minutes.

At times, following this method, many will find they don’t need to add any more butter to the rolls. In practice, the individual tends to consume less butter in this fashion because they’re not later adding a full, thick butter slice during the meal.

The most common methods available for storing dinner rolls is in a plastic food storage bag at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer. Knowing that if they’re store at room temperature, as these are homemade, there is a higher tendency to have mold in about 2-3 days. So, with that said, it’s often a good idea to store them in the fridge if you feel they might be consumed relatively soon but not within the next couple of days. If not planning to be eaten any time soon (longer than a week or two), the freezer is the next best option.

If I’ve partially baked these and stored them in the freezer, how do I use them later?

If you want to ensure your dinner yeast rolls are light and fluffy, here are some cause of why rolls fail. The yeast could be too old. The dough might have been sitting out too long after having risen (before going into the oven). There are other possible causes but those are the most common.

They might have. The doubling refers to volume doubling, not the length or height. If it appears they’re about 1/3 bigger overall, that’s good. However, usually the number one hindrance to increasing in size is if the yeast is no longer reasonably fresh since opened. Sometimes, humidity in the air can have an impact, as well as the area where they were set to rise should be a little warm, like near the oven.
