Easy 40 Minute Dinner Rolls Or Buns
If you have never made rolls using yeast, this is the perfect recipe to start with. You can use this recipe for hamburger buns or hotdog buns by changing the shape accordingly.
Add the yeast to a large bowl.
Warm the water to 110º-115º.
Add the water and dissolve the yeast.
Add the oil and the sugar, stir
and let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the egg and salt then stir.
Add enough flour to form a soft dough ball.
Sprinkle flour onto a clean surface.
Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes or until
smooth and elastic. (Do not let it rise)
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
(I only show 6 of mine)
Roll each piece into a ball for rolls, slightly
flatten for hamburger buns or shape
into a hotdog bun.
Place 2” apart on a greased baking sheet.
Cover and put in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 425º oven for 8-12 minutes
or until golden brown. Remove from the baking
sheet and place on a cooling rack to cool.

Most welcome madam.🌹🙏
Yum-o!!
Thank you 💕
Mmmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!
Thanks! ❤️
Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread
I agree!!!!
😎
What’s the consistency? Chewy or airy?
More like a bun consistency.
👍
Thank you for a recipe that only makes 12 buns. Last bread recipe I tried made about 48 buns. I felt I was working at a restaurant! I will be trying this version.
I know what you mean Betty! Homemade breads and rolls get stale so much faster than store bought so what good is it to have so many unless you freeze them. I hope you like them. ❤️
These look mouthwatering good! I’ve been hesitant to bake bread with yeast but these look like a nice entry! Thanks Diane, C
This is about as easy as yeast rolls can get. Perfect for the beginner too. With that said, I used this all the time because they are so easy and quick.
Tomorrow I will do, I think my grandson will taste. Top i’ll sprinkle with black cumin.
Best regards
Oh what a great taste that will be Ultra! Enjoy ❤️
Warm freshly baked rolls are always a treat with lots of butter! Enjoy!
Oh yes “lots” of butter…lol Thank you Ab!
I’ve never made my own rolls from scratch because I thought it would be too hard. This doesn’t seem hard at all!
This recipe is as easy as it gets. They are actually fun for your first time. I hope you give it a try Michelle.
They look so good. I bet they add a whole new dimension to hamburgers.
Oh yes that was how I had them the first time. I love working with this dough it’s so quick and simple. Thank you! 💕
Those look DELICIOUS!! I lick my lips after imagine these, fresh out of the oven, with some golden syrup and grated cheese … yummy 😋.
I love the way you think! Thanks ❤️
They look so good!!
Thank you Nisha. I love working with this easy dough.
Yum! I can almost smell them, Diane!
Why is fresh homemade bread and rolls so addicting? Thank you Janet! ❤️
I’m sure they smell heavenly when they come out of the oven. When I stocked up on pantry items last Fall, I bought Bisquick and a tin of pie cherries intending to make a cobbler in the crockpot. I found the Bisquick the other day … what happened to that idea? That was too difficult for me to tackle I guess … tackling yeast would be way out of my league!
Make sure you keep checking the expiration date of the Bisquick, it goes bad and then won’t bake properly due to the baking powder or baking soda expiring in it. Now get busy, chin up and make that cobbler Linda! I want to see the picture when its done. You can do this! Lol
Ha ha – I almost dumped the cherry filler into my large container of yogurt. I’ll check the expiration date … took it downstairs and I had high hopes for cornbread in the crockpot too. Not tried that yet either.
I’m guilty of buying canned stuff and sticking them downstairs too. I will swear I haven’t had them long and I find them expired. Canned food will last well past the expiration date but not dry products that have baking soda or baking powder in it. It won’t make you sick, it just won’t rise and will be like a pancake.
Now I remember I didn’t look at it … I have to go downstairs … don’t laugh, but in the house I have these Muk Luks on my feet to keep my feet warm … a month more while it is still chilly. I switch to shoes to go down in the basement as it’s not safe going downstairs in them. So I only go downstairs to do laundry and get “groceries” in the morning before walking and I wear a pair of moccasins with hard soles on them. A friend of my boss/me made a misstep on the basement stairs last Summer and broke some vertebrae in his neck … he is better now, but had a few surgeries, was in a neck/back brace and a feeding tube until recently. He had polio as a child and that made his problems worse.
Oh my goodness Linda how awful! That was how I became disabled back in 96 while working. Customer had broken railing and down I went. Tore my ACL in two and then formed excessive scar tissue and couldn’t do that job anymore. It’s amazing how a life can change in a days time!
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that Diane – yes life can change so much in a days time. David is in his early 70s, but was a very active person and he owned a store at Eastern Market in Detroit for decades. It is a small store that specializes in cheeses. He is just now back to work but was off for a long time and asked my boss to make arrangements for him in case he did not make it. He is divorced (after being married 40+ years … wife divorced him as he worked too many hours) and his daughter lives in Boston. So my boss was on standby to be his personal representative. You would think people would check railings as people depend on them to go up and down steps and feel secure doing so.
I agree!
Yum, yum, homemade bread! 😊

Thanks Mitzy!
I bet they smell lovely!
Oh most definitely, love the aroma of freshly baked breads/rolls. Thank you Jo!
Nothing like it! 🙂
I don’t have luck with yeast, and I don’t know why. But your photos look so inviting, I might give it another Go.
P.S. I can almost smell that delicious bread baking from here.
This is foolproof as long as you keep the water between 110-115 degrees. It is a great beginner recipe but I still use it.
