The BEST Dinner Rolls from Scratch (seriously THE BEST)

Thank you Huggies® for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

Every holiday meal needs a good dinner roll, something warm and soft to sink your teeth into, and something to make leftover turkey sandwiches with the next day. I’ve wanted to share this recipe with you for years but it’s our secret family recipe so I haven’t been able to, but the day is finally here, all the permissions have been asked and now I finally get to share my recipe for the BEST dinner rolls!

To me a good dinner roll is important because I don’t want to waste my holiday carbs on something that’s not amazing, so trust me, I don’t take it lightly that I’m calling these the BEST dinner rolls because they are seriously SO good, just ask anyone who’s ever joined us for the holidays. 🙂

Do you want to know the best part about these rolls, they are SO easy to make!!! There’s a way to make them by hand, or in the bread maker (which is how I make them), so I’ve included both directions and you can decide which way works best for you.

In our family we call them “Lisa’s famous rolls” but since y’all probably don’t have a “Lisa” in your family, I’ll call them the BEST dinner rolls instead. 😉

Be careful because when they come out of the oven you’ll probably have little hands stealing them right off the baking sheet! I always have to make two batches, one for everyone to eat before the meal, and one to actually enjoy with our holiday feast!

They are amazing with jelly, butter, honey or just by themselves, but whatever you choose to eat them with, make sure you have some handy Huggies® Wipes waiting to wipe off sticky fingers and faces.

Just like not all rolls are created equal, not all wipes are either. 😉 Huggies® Wipes have triple layers that are gentle on cute faces but thick enough to clean up all 10 sticky fingers!

I truly hope you enjoy these rolls as much as all of our friends and family do, you might be surprised, but I know they’ll end up being one of your favorite things and you’ll start craving them each holiday season!

Author: Anna Moseley
Recipe type: Dinner rolls
Ingredients
  • 2¼ teaspoons yeast (1¾ teaspoons yeast)
  • 2¼ teaspoons yeast (1¾ teaspoons yeast)
  • ½ cup warm milk (1/2 cup warm milk)
  • ½ cup warm milk (1/2 cup warm milk)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (1½ teaspoons of sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (1½ teaspoons of sugar)
  • 1 cup hot milk (3/4 cups hot milk)
  • 1 cup hot milk (3/4 cups hot milk)
  • 1 cup cold milk (3/4 cups cold milk)
  • 1 cup cold milk (3/4 cups cold milk)
  • ½ cup melted butter (1/2 cup melted butter)
  • ½ cup melted butter (1/2 cup melted butter)
  • 2 eggs (2 eggs)
  • 2 eggs (2 eggs)
  • ¾ cups sugar (1/2 cup sugar)
  • ¾ cups sugar (1/2 cup sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (1½ teaspoons salt)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (1½ teaspoons salt)
  • 8-9 cups flour (6½ cups flour)
Instructions
  1. Dissolve 2¼ teaspoons yeast with ½ cup warm milk. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and stir a little. Set aside.
  2. Mix 1 cup hot milk, 1 cup cold milk, ½ cup melted butter, 2 eggs, ¾ cups sugar and 2 teaspoons salt.
  3. Combine yeast mixture and wet mixture.
  4. Add 8-9 cups of flour 1-2 cups at a time. Knead until the dough is soft, not sticky. Cover and let rise 1½ hours.
  5. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
  6. When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down. Pinch off pieces of dough that are about fist-size. Fold the rough edges of the dough under and place them on the cookie sheet, rough edges down. Tip: the rolls won't rise very much in the oven so make sure to make the balls of dough are about the size you want them to end up.
  7. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

    Awww, what a happy face! Perfect time since I want to make homemade rolls for Thanksgiving. And we’ve always used Huggies wipes since my first “baby” was born two decades ago (yikes!).
