30 Minute Rolls

by Laura

Sometimes the name of a recipe calls to me as a challenge. This recipe for 30 minute rolls was actually part of a recipe for Pizza Roll Ups that I saw on a local television show called Studio 5. The recipe was from Suzie Roberts who is the author of “Girlfriends on the Go”. You were suppose to use this recipe for the dough for the pizza rolls ups. But when I saw the name of the dough recipe, I couldn’t help but take the challenge. Was it really possible to have delicious homemade rolls in 30 minutes? I decided to try this recipe yesterday for Sunday dinner.

We don’t get home from church until at least 4 pm. This time schedule has made it hard to have fresh made rolls, hot from the oven. I really have only had two choices in the past. Make and bake the rolls before church or put out frozen roll dough to thaw and raise while we are at church. These 30 Minute Rolls really did “RISE” to the challenge. They turned out so tender and came together in the time expected . Also, I was afraid that since the recipe called for so much yeast that they would have a strong yeast taste. I was so surprised at how wonderfully these worked and they didn’t taste yeasty at all.

Just beware to use a large bowl for the yeast to sit in. It bubbles up a lot. Also, the dough was quite sticky.

Now, I am really not an expert at shaping rolls and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time shaping them. I just took a glob of dough about the size of a lime and rolled it in my hand. Also, I sprayed my hands with non-stick cooking spray before shaping the dough.  I then sprayed my hands a few more times throughout the shaping process. I  reduced the original recipe down to only make 1 dozen rolls. That amount is perfect for my family. However, I have included both versions for you. The larger recipe makes 3 dozen rolls.

Here is what you need to make the

This has been my go-to roll recipe for a year or two now. It has never failed me. Sometimes I use melted butter, sometimes I use oil…. sometimes I let the dough sit longer before baking, other times I don’t. Everyone who has ever ate these has loved them. For Christmas, I have even stretched this recipe out and got 2 pans of rolls by making the dough rounds a bit smaller and letting them rise in the baking pan for about 30… Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I made these last night, and while they were indeed fast and turned out soft and fluffy, I felt that the dough needed more salt. Next time I will double the amount and see if that works.

I use a variation of this recipe at least once a week for the last 3 years. I use softened butter instead of oil & 1 cup of milk instead of the cup of water plus 2 tablespoons. Keys:
1. Mix together your milk (at 110-115 degrees) with the yeast, sugar, and butter until creamy (about 10 minutes)
2. Use a kitchen aid mixer with the dough hook and add enough flour to to have it all come together to a smooth ball. Do not add additional flour unless necessary. My rolls are never sticky and are very smooth.
3. Portion into rolls (use a scale to get even rolls – I like 50g – it makes about 24 smallish rolls to fill a 9×13 pan)
4. Let rest on top of the stove for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
5. When lightly browned, take out of the oven and BRUSH WITH MELTED BUTTER (the rest of the stick) and SPRINKLE with salt from a SALT GRINDER. This takes it over the top!
I have used it to make pizza rolls, cinnamon rolls, loaves of bread, sandwich buns for barbeque, and am requested to bring them to EVERY function. I have even used these to cater a large dinner.
I find that if I plan on freezing, I prefer to almost cook them through (not quite brown yet) and then freeze. To serve just thaw, reheat and top with the melted butter and salt.

LOVE these rolls! I’ve made them twice now to go with soup for dinner on a weeknight.
So much faster than traditional rolls and I think I prefer the texture, light fully rolls and I don’t think it’s to “yeasty” at all!
I followed the recipe exactly the 1st time and they did rise very fast, the second time I added only 4 Tab of yeast and they took a little longer but not to much just like 5 more min. I have 4 teenagers in my home so I made the bigger batch and make gigantic rolls, so for me to rise and bake them it is closer to a hour, but that comes out just right as my main dish is just done at that time too.
Thank you so much this recipe is a keeper!

Heather July 14, 2015 - 8:28 pm

I make these rolls 3-4 times a week! If I don’t take the time to make long-rising rolls, this is my go-to recipe! The only difference between these and a long rise roll is a slightly heavier, less “billowy” bread texture. However, I have to bake for 17 minutes for complete doneness, as opposed to 10 minutes, but that is hardly an issue. Great Recipe!

My niece sent me the link to this recipe. She makes it often for her little boys. She uses either all whole wheat or half and half. Mine are in the oven and I am afraid they shan’t be as good as hers. I forgot the extra 2 tbs of water and didn’t realize it til I read your post and you mentioned sticky dough. Mine was not. Argh. They are smelling lovely. We will see.

This was the easiest quickest yeast rolls ever. I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect.
Those of you that are having a problem with the recipe should consider your appliance or not following the recipe exactly. Know the difference between hot and warm water for the yeast; a dough hook and kitchen aid mixer works wonders for this recipe and a good reliable oven.

Reply
Heather October 23, 2014 - 1:12 pm

These took me about an hour, not 30 minutes.
They came out looking pretty and they are very simple to make. However, if you have the time, just stick to regular buns. These would be emergency only buns. Regular buns are not that much more work except use much less yeast and require longer rising times. The texture of these buns is weird – I get why people say biscuits.
You could probably use this recipe but cut the amount of yeast and sugar in half. Let it rise for 30 minutes after it is mixed but before you form buns. Then let it rise again for 30 minutes after they are formed into buns.

These rolls are great and I think that those that had issues with them added too much flour. I made the tonight, they were maybe 45 mins at the most to make, the dough had to be semi-sticky, not drier like bread dough, and they were DELICIOUS!

I made these rolls tonight to go with soup, I used less sugar than in the recipe (maybe half to one third), and I didn’t have enough oil so used approx 1tbsp melted butter at the flour mixing stage. Also the yeast was out of date (blush). They were excellent, really simple to make, and I am NOT a good baker! I was also converting furiously from US to UK measurements. I will be making these again. I used nigella seeds on the top but I will try poppy seeds next time, and prove them for a little bit longer. Thanks for the recipe!

I pinned this recipe a while ago, and today I finally made it. These taste so great! I bought red star quick rise yeast packets, and used 2. I used my measuring spoon and 2 packets measured almost 2 Tbs of yeast. I turned my oven on low (150degrees) while the yeast sat for the 15 minutes in the warm water and sugar. I then turned my oven off and after I balled the dough into my muffin pan I put it in the oven to rise. I let the rolls rise for about 15- 20 minutes and then turned the oven on 400 to bake. These rolls got nice and big, and don’t taste yeasty at all. They are slightly sweet and taste great with butter. Thank you so much for this recipe. This is the first time I’ve ever made rolls. I’m going to try it as a pizza dough next, then maybe cinnamon rolls.

These are nothing like a biscuit. A biscuit doesn’t have yeast in it, and these are fluffy yeasty rolls. Clearly not a holiday roll that you knead and let rise twice, but that’s not what this recipe is for – it’s for moms making quick dinners! For that, they’re terrific!

We forgot to make our regular roll recipe on time for Christmas dinner, and I found this recipe through goodsearch. It was very quick and very easy. I substituted melted salted butter for the oil, bread flour for all-purpose flour, and halved the salt. This dough was very easy to work with, and it got puffy very fast. I haven’t tried one yet, but they smell delicious. I accidentally made nine rolls instead of twelve, so they’re huge and had to bake for about five minutes longer. If they taste half as delicious as they smell, I will definitely be making these rolls again. They would work great for a busy weeknight to accompany a soup or stew.

Heather December 18, 2013 - 7:30 pm

These rolls are fabulous! Perfect crust, and lovely, light and tender on the inside! I halved the salt, substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour for one cup of all purpose white flour, and subtituted 2 Tbs flax seed and an additional 3 Tbs water for the egg. I know that’s a lot of substitutions, but I’m cooking for family member’s special diets. But these were amazing!
Also, to anyone having difficulties, I’d make sure the water you add is about 100 degrees F/ 37 degrees C… mine was about 110F/ 43C. Also, make sure your yeast is fresh and not expired (I keep a jar of active dry yeast in the fridge). My dough was kind of sticky, but I floured my hands while making rolls out of it. I let the rolls rest for about five or ten minutes– they expanded just a bit, but you really don’t have to wait for them to double in size. I just waited for my oven to finish preheating, because I’d forgotten to start it. These will puff up while baking. I will definitely be making these again! Thank you!

Um. Resting time alone is 35 minutes. Sorry, already over 30. And with three kids running around ages 4, 2, and 9 months these rolls were not done in 30 minutes. However, they were totally worth it. Just don’t get your hopes up for having them honestly done in 30 minutes.

Reply
Bernie T September 27, 2015 - 11:26 am

The faster rising time and need to rise only once before forming into rolls is the reason for more yeast than you would find in a traditional recipe for yeast rolls. So if you use 2 tsp instead of 2 Tbs – you’re using one third of what the recipe calls for. I wonder if this is the reason for the “biscuit” result???

These turned out fabulous! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Made some beef stew and thought that a quick, easy dinner roll would be great to soak up the gravy. My first tray had the customary 10-15 minute wait while the second tray went 20-25. Both were equally good, with the 2nd tray getting a fluffier, lighter finish. Perfect for a quick fix. I had to add more flour though as my dough was sticky at first. A great find. Thank you again. :)x

My husband and I cook a lot of different breads in search of the best recipe. He made these for Sunday dinner today and they were without a doubt, the best dinner rolls I’ve ever eaten.

i live at high altitude, so i reduced the yeast, and sugar slightly, and added a little extra water. had no eggs on hang (Doh!) so used mayonnaise, and they STILL turned out awesome.
i am so happy to have a new, faster recipe to use. i also made a mini pizza, yummy!

I’ve never made yeast rolls so quickly! I used part whole wheat flour. The dough WAS very soft and sticky, but it worked when I forgot to start the dough earlier for my regular recipe/method. Nice, soft, tasty rolls!

I need to know what type of flour to use? All purpose or self rising? Please can you tell me?

I just made these with half whole wheat, half white flour. They are terrific! I’ll definitely be making these again. Thank you!

Can you freeze the dough and make later

I have made these many times from your recipe. Love them! I never could make rolls before and these turn out every time. Also love the cinnamon roll version!

The recipe for the dinner rolls, can they be mixed in a bread machine, (I do not have a stand alone mixer) and then formed into dinner rolls, or would I have to mix everything by hand and does it need to kneaded then too.
Please advise. Thanks

I made these last night when I needed something to go with soup, and had no time to bake normal buns. I found that I needed an extra half cup or so of flour, as flour as the dough was too sticky. I also had to bake the buns much longer than 10 minutes in order to brown them. As soon as I took them out of the oven I brushed them with margarine. At any rate, I thought these were delicious! They sort of reminded me of paska (without the icing)… Perhaps this will lead to an experiment. :]

The 30 minute rolls, although tasty, we’re heavy. Any idea what I might have done incorrectly?

Wow. I forgot to thaw some Rhodes Rolls to make Pani Popo for the students I feed daily at our horseshoeing school. I remembered seeing this recipe and it saved the day!!!!! They were so fast and easy and there wasn’t a single roll left! Thanks so much!

I just made these rolls for dinner the other day, only used half whole wheat flour, half white flour. They were so good, and I couldn’t believe how easy they were! Thanks!

I just made these tonight and they are so easy and good. I was wondering how to get them in the shape of a roll? Mine were very lopsided and come out not looking very pretty. Any suggestions?

I am looking forward to trying this – I have heard about this recipe from several people. (found your blog by accident by the way – love it!) I tried a recipe from a friend once that had 6 TBSP yeast and it was SOOOOO gross. Tasted fermented. I am hoping this works well! I make and bake a ton of different rolls and breads, just never tried this one! And 4pm getting out of church is pretty tough…BTDT!

Jenn October 18, 2009 - 6:35 am

These were quick and easy! I made the one dozen version and it and it made more than a dozen good sized rolls. I did have to add some extra flour though as my dough was sticky. We enjoyed these rolls. Thanks!

Although these were good, they didn't turn out quite as I had expected. They reminded more of angel biscuits than rolls. They were especially great with butter and freezer jam! Yum!Yum!

These were so incredibly good! And easy! The rolls I typically make take much longer. I have tried another roll recipe from your website…can't remember the name, but I think you said they are close to the Lion's House rolls you love. They were great, but I think these are even better! They were quick enough to make after church today for lunch and my family gobbled them up! Thank you!

What an awesome recipe! I’m always feeling like I need a recipe for rolls I can literally throw together. Thanks for sharing!
