Even if you are a beginner at baking breads with yeast, these rolls come together so simply. I am going to walk you through, step by step with my best tips and tricks for making homemade rolls.

How to Make Yeast Rolls:

• Add warm water to a large mixing bowl, about 95 – 100°. If you don’t have a thermometer, just run your hand under the water until it feels the same as your hand. 
• Mix in one packet of yeast and sugar. Allow to stand 5-10 minutes or until yeast starts to bubble. 
• Add oil into yeast mixture. 
• Add one egg and mix to combine. 

• Stir in  2 cups of flour. 
• Add kosher salt along with additional flour, 1 cup at a time. 
• Dough should come together into a ball and pull away from the sides of the bowl when you have added about 4- 5 cups of flour. 
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface, a large cutting board works great. 

• Knead dough with your hands, turning the dough over into itself about 3- 5 minutes, adding more flour 1/4 cup at a time as needed. Dough should be soft but no longer sticky. 

• Flour the board once more and shape dough into a ball. Cover with a flour sack towel and allow to rise one hour. A warm, draft- free place works great. Alternately, you can grease a clean bowl and place dough in the bowl, covered with plastic wrap to rise. 
• When dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough to remove any air bubbles. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape the dough pieces into logs and cut into 4 pieces. 

• Shape into rolls by tucking sides under and rolling between your hands to form a smooth ball. Place on a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover and allow to rise 30 minutes to one hour. 
• Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and cooked through. 

• Brush rolls with melted butter and serve immediately. 

The Best Way to Store and Reheat Yeast Rolls:

Leftover rolls may be stored in a zip top bag at room temperature for 1 day or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. 

To reheat rolls, place in a 325° oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. You can loosely cover with foil if to keep the rolls from browning too much.

Tips for Making Homemade Rolls:

• The key to the best dinner rolls starts with good ingredients. I have the best luck using Red Star Yeast Platinum and King Arthur Flour. I generally have all purpose flour on hand but bread flour is also a great choice. 
• Make sure your yeast is in date and not expired. 
• Use a dough whisk to mix your yeast dough. 
• Add flour a bit at a time, kneading before adding more. Adding too much flour will make your rolls tough.
• If your rolls are hard to shape, let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the dough to relax. 
• You can roll the dough out and use a biscuit cutter to shape the rolls if desired.  
• Don’t rush the rising time. You will get the lightest, fluffiest rolls with 2 risings. It’s worth the extra time. 
• Check your rolls at the earliest baking time to ensure they are not over browning. 
• Brush your rolls with melted butter before baking for a darker, crisper crust. 

Homemade rolls are a great way to bring something special to any meal. My kids love any kind of homemade bread and they find these homemade Hawaiian Rolls irresistible!

[mv_create key=”871″ layout=”grid” title=”Easy Dinner Rolls ” type=”list”]Homemade rolls are simple to make and will elevate any dinner that you add them to. If you are hesitant to bake with yeast, give it a try. It might take a time or two to get the hang of it but once you do, you can be baking fresh bread anytime the craving strikes.

These White Cheddar Potato Rolls are a take on a farmhouse potato bread recipe that a neighbor gave me ages ago. It’s always been one of my favorites and it was one of the first bread recipes I ever made successfully.

This recipe has a few extra steps but they are totally worth it. It also makes a big batch, so they are perfect for the holidays or big family gatherings.

I used Platinum Red Star Yeast for this recipe. It has dough enhancers that helps the bread to rise every single time. Baking with yeast doesn’t have to be intimidating. Red Star Yeast has a fabulous Yeast & Baking Lessons section with step-by-step instructions.

How to Make White Cheddar Potato Rolls:

I added the yeast to some warm water and set it aside. I might have made a mess trying to take pictures and pour the yeast at the same time…..

I heated some milk and butter together.

Next I add in some leftover mashed potatoes and honey, then place it all in the mixer bowl. I added in a bit of the of the flour and then the yeast mixture, then more flour until it came together.

I normally knead bread by hand but since this is a rather large batch of dough, I went with the mixer.

This makes a really soft dough but will come together nicely and form a dough ball.

I placed it in a large bowl and covered it to rise.

Just look at that gorgeous dough!

I am about the worst at shaping the rolls and getting them all the same size. I kept dividing the dough in half until I had 24 rolls.

I topped them with some shredded white cheddar and set them aside to rise again while I got the oven going.

These rolls come out of the oven all nice and golden brown. The cheddar gives the top a bit of a crispy crunch and I just love the soft texture and flavor of potato bread. I promise, this one’s a keeper!

The large batch makes them perfect for baking and sharing! I hope you give these rolls a try soon! Let’s face it, a good dinner roll can totally steal the show!

Quick Rosemary Garlic Knots

I really enjoy making homemade bread of all kinds. I make homemade rolls for all of our holiday dinners and family get togethers.

My Buttermilk Ricotta Skillet Rolls are always a hit and I’ve been thinking about the White Cheddar Garlic Knots lately and decided it was time for a new variation.

I planted a couple of rosemary plants in the garden this year and so far I have been able to keep them alive. I love having fresh herbs all year long.  The fresh rosemary made these bread knots something special.

We also have some winter kale growing right now.  It’s growing really slow but I hope to be able to pick some soon. I thought the last cold snap would’ve killed it but it’s still growing!

I think I’m the worst at shaping rolls but these little knots were pretty easy and didn’t have to be perfect to look pretty when baked. I don’t do perfect, EVER.

I used 2 packages of my favorite Red Star Yeast Platinum to speed up the process. I’m always in a hurry, aren’t you? I get the most reliable results from Red Star Yeast and they have the best tips and troubleshooting for successful bread baking.

If you are uneasy about baking with yeast, you are going to love Red Star Yeast’s  Yeast & Baking Lessons! I have learned to make sure your yeast is fresh.

I love baking with Red Star Yeast and my Peach Pie Cinnamon Rolls were one of the most popular recipes this year and the Cheesy Pesto Breadsticks were mighty delicious too!

I mixed up the dough and then I kneaded it for about 3-4 minutes. I let it rest for 15 minutes while I was washing dishes. My word we make a lot of dishes since we are here on the ranch 24-7.

After the dough rested, I punched it down to remove the air bubbles and cut the dough in half. I rolled each half into about a 10- 12 inch rectangle/oval shape.

I cut it into 1-inch strips and then cut them in half. That makes the rolls small – about 3 bites.  If you want larger knots just skip cutting the strips in half.

I tied each strip into a knot and then tucked the ends back into the center and placed them on parchment paper. I let them rise while the oven preheated and then baked them up. They bake in about 10 minutes.

I added fresh rosemary and garlic to melted butter and let it simmer while the rolls baked. I brushed it over the rolls generously and served them right away with dinner. Dinner just happened to be my favorite Chicken Fried Steak Bites with Country Gravy.

They were the perfect for a weeknight dinner but totally fancy enough for entertaining or holiday dinners.

Since these rolls are little, they make a perfect appetizer for holidays or game day get togethers. They are outstanding fresh from the oven but also great at room temperature.
