Soft Homemade Dinner Rolls is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Bread Bakers. Each month we group together to bake new types of breads on a given theme.

This month our host has asked us to make dinner rolls. I have opted for a standard yeast roll that I have enriched with extra butter, egg, and dough conditioner (in the form of powdered milk).
The result is pillowy soft and light rolls that you can have on your table in around two hours.
For proofing, I use a Breville Smart Air oven set to 100F. Or warm a microwave and keep the dough in there with the oven off. I have also used a heating pad under the bowl before. But likely the ambient room temp just won’t cut it so think ahead.
Your yeast likes to be nice and warm to do its best work.

Such a simple and fuss free recipe and such beautiful fluffy rolls. I am baking these soon.
Love this simple and easy dinner rolls. I can eat a bowl of soup with few rolls now.
Those rolls are gorgeous and i love the beautiful soft crumb.
These are lovely, nostalgic rolls. Reminds me of our absolutely fantastic school cook who made awesome rolls from scratch every week.
The rolls look and sound amazing! Love these buttery rolls with a schmear of butter!
Gorgeous color on those rolls Sue. I would proudly have these on my holiday table.
Bill made breakfast sandwiches with some extra ones. Still very soft, and he added ham, cheese and a fried egg. Just the right size.
I’ve read a lot about the benefits of using powdered milk – in supporting a soft roll (or cookie!). I love that you used it in your rolls. And great idea for proofing. I have a Breville, and am going to check if I have that temp setting.
Mine has it on the settings, but just in case, it is 100F without convection .
Your pretty rolls are so shiny and fluffy, Sue! I’ll bet they disappear in a jiffy!
Yep. They went fast.
