My easy homemade soft Dinner rolls recipe
Growing up in India, I loved devouring buttery ladi pav with delicious Indian street food - Pressure Cooker Pav Bhaji, Masala Pav, and Mumbai’s Vada Pav too! But when I moved to the UK , I couldn’t find them nearby. So, I started making my own using a simple eggless recipe with just a few ingredients. And I finally mastered my recipe for Easy Soft Dinner Rolls recipe with subtle tweaks over the years. With the help of my trusty kitchen aid stand mixer and Instant Yeast, it’s as easy as dump, knead, proof, and bake. Serve these fluffy rolls with your favourite side or soup.

How to make Soft Dinner rolls?: Step by step guide
Mixing the Ingredients
Sift the flour and set it aside. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients.
Kneading the Dough
Use a Kitchen Aid Stand mixer or knead the dough by hand. Add more milk if necessary as you need until a soft and smooth dough forms.
Proofing the Dough
Proofing the dough can be daunting owing to may conditions: humidity, too much chillness and what not. Instant Pot proofing works well during all seasons. If you do not have an Instant Pot, use the second method, which is universally known.
Proofing the Dough in an Instant Pot:
Grease the inner pot of the Instant Pot with butter or oil. Place the dough in the greased pot, close the lid, and leave the knob in venting position.Alternatively use a glass lid. Select the Yogurt Setting and set an external timer for 40 minutes. I always use my Google Home for a 40 minutes reminder. When the timer beeps, cancel the yogurt setting and open the lid to check if the dough has risen. Punch down the dough to deflate it lightly.
Proofing the Dough in a Greased Bowl:
Grease a large bowl and transfer the kneaded dough into it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size. Punch down the dough to deflate it lightly.
Dividing the Dough & Second Rise
Pinch pieces of the dough and divide it into 12 equal-sized portions. Roll and shape each portion to form smooth tops. Transfer all the rolls to a greased baking sheet. Cover the rolls with a soft towel or plastic wrap and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, depending on weather and altitude.
Brushing the Rolls
Brush the rolls with milk or an egg wash to give them a shiny finish.
Baking the Dinner Rolls
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Position the baking tray on the lower shelf of the oven and bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes until they are cooked through and the tops are golden brown. If the rolls are browning too quickly, cover them with a sheet of foil and continue baking. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven.
Final Touches
Brush the hot rolls with melted butter for added flavor and softness. Serve the dinner rolls immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Enjoy these soft and delicious dinner rolls as a perfect accompaniment to your meals!
Storing eggless dinner rolls
To store leftover dinner rolls at room temperature, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Can I freeze leftover dinner rolls?
For longer-term storage, you can freeze the dinner rolls. Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag, ensuring there is no air inside. Frozen dinner rolls can typically be stored for up to 2-3 months. Thawing and Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy the leftover dinner rolls, thaw them in the fridge overnight. To refresh their taste and texture, preheat the oven to a low temperature (around 150°C/300°F), place the rolls on a baking sheet, and warm them for a few minutes until heated through.
