No Yeast Dinner Rolls Recipe

All-purpose flour: The base of the dough, providing structure and texture.

Baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the rolls rise and become fluffy.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the rolls.

Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the dough.

Melted butter: Adds flavor and helps to create a tender crumb.

When mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overmixing can lead to tough rolls. Stir just until the ingredients are combined and the dough comes together. This will help ensure your dinner rolls are light and fluffy.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds a slightly nutty flavor and more fiber, though it may make the rolls denser.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with gluten-free flour blend: For those with gluten intolerance, a gluten-free flour blend can be used to achieve a similar texture.

• baking powder - Substitute with baking soda and cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar for each teaspoon of baking powder needed.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used for a slightly different mineral content and flavor profile.

• milk - Substitute with buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and can make the rolls more tender.

• milk - Substitute with almond milk: For a dairy-free option, almond milk can be used, though it may slightly alter the flavor.

• melted butter - Substitute with olive oil: Olive oil can be used for a healthier fat option, though it will change the flavor profile slightly.

• melted butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative, adding a subtle coconut flavor.

• Allow the dinner rolls to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the rolls soggy.

• For short-term storage, place the rolls in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days.

• If you need to store them for a longer period, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents them from drying out.

• Place the wrapped rolls in a large freezer-safe bag or an airtight container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of their freshness.

• Store the rolls in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw the rolls at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight.

• To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet and cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

• For a quicker option, you can also reheat the rolls in the microwave. Wrap each roll in a damp paper towel and microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make the rolls tough.

• If you want to add a touch of freshness, brush the reheated rolls with a little melted butter or sprinkle them with herbs like rosemary or thyme before serving.

• Oven Method:
