It also lightly sweetens the yeast rolls and helps them achieve a nice, golden brown color in the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> An egg is added to this yeast roll recipe to help soften its final texture. If you enjoy bread with a soft, pillowy texture, eggs are likely the reason!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> Similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/challah\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/challah\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">challah bread<\/a>, the oil adds fat to the yeast roll dough, which also softens its crust and makes its interior crumb more tender and rich.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Salt seasons the rolls and improves their flavor. You&#8217;d be surprised at the difference 2 teaspoons can make.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> While yeast rolls can be made with various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of flour<\/a>, all-purpose flour is what you&#8217;ll need for perfectly soft, pillowy rolls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mix the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2072557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Yeast-Rolls_TOHVS22_50455_BL_11_29_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A top-down view of a stand mixer with a glass bowl attached.

Always follow the temperature recommendations from your yeast manufacturer for the best results. Using water that is too cold will stunt the yeast&#8217;s activity. Conversely, using water that is too hot may kill the yeast.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Knead and let the dough rise<\/h3>\n<p>Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it until it&#8217;s smooth and elastic, six to eight minutes. Place it in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about one hour.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> If you prefer, you may also knead the dough using a stand mixer. The gluten will develop more quickly this way, however, so you likely will not have to knead for as long.

They may also be refrigerated to extend their shelf life by a few days, but they will dry out faster when stored in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze yeast rolls?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, yeast rolls can be stored in the freezer, either fully baked or as unbaked dough balls.

Then, bake them as directed in the recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make yeast rolls ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make this yeast dinner rolls recipe a day ahead. Store the yeast rolls at room temperature in an airtight food storage container until you&#8217;re ready to serve them. For freshly baked taste and texture, warm the rolls in a 350\u00b0\u00a0oven until they&#8217;re heated through, about five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if planning more than a few days ahead, you can bake the rolls and freeze them as directed above.

First, ensure your yeast isn&#8217;t expired, as old yeast will not be as active as fresh yeast. Here&#8217;s how you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-yeast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-yeast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">test your yeast<\/a>. Second, make sure you are measuring your flour the right way. Using too much flour can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-rolls\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-rolls\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade rolls<\/a> and other baked goods to be dense and heavy. Finally, make sure you are kneading your dough enough, and that you are proofing your dough at the proper temperature and for the right amount of time. There are a lot of variables to consider when making this yeast dinner rolls recipe, and getting each one right is critical for the best results.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make larger rolls or buns with this yeast rolls recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! This yeast roll recipe makes small-sized yeast rolls, but if you prefer a larger roll or buns for sliders (like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramelized-ham-swiss-buns\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramelized-ham-swiss-buns\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hot ham sandwiches<\/a>), you can certainly divide the dough into larger portions.

In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook), combine sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 4 cups of flour. Beat on medium speed until a smooth dough begins to form. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to create a stiff dough. Editor's Tip: Great yeast rolls start with proofing yeast the right way. Always follow the temperature recommendations from your yeast manufacturer for the best results. Using water that is too cold will stunt the yeast's activity. Conversely, using water that is too hot may kill the yeast.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Yeast-Rolls_TOHVS22_50455_BL_11_29_1.jpg?fit=700,1024"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Knead and let the dough rise","text":"Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about one hour. Editor's Tip: If you prefer, you may also knead the dough using a stand mixer. The gluten will develop more quickly this way, however, so you likely will not have to knead for as long.
