No Knead Bread Rolls
No knead bread rolls are a type of dinner roll that require minimal effort and no traditional kneading of the dough. Make the dough up to a day in advance then bake them in a muffin tin for soft, chewy rolls with a delicious crust that are perfect for a holiday table or weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 1½ teaspoons Dry active yeast
- ¼ cup Lukewarm water
- ¼ cup Unsalted butter
- 1¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 large Egg - beaten
- 3½ cups All purpose flour
Instructions
- In a medium bowl add the butter, salt and sugar. Add boiling water to the bowl and stir everything together until the ingredients are dissolved.
- In another small bowl add the lukewarm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Wait about 5 minutes for the yeast to start activating.
- When the butter mixture is lukewarm, add the yeast mixture to it and stir. Then add the egg and mix. Then stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Begin with 3 cups of flour and add as much more as necessary to make a soft dough.
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough in it, rolling it around in the oil and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill the dough for 2 to 24 hours.
- When doubled in size, take the dough out of the fridge and pinch off pieces, roll into balls and place in greased muffin tins ⅓ full. Brush the tops with melted butter. Place the rolls in a warm draft free area to rise for about 2 hours.
- When doubled in size, bake in hot oven at 425F for 20 minutes. Let them cool for about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover no-knead rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also store the rolls for longer in the refrigerator, but you will run the risk of the rolls drying out faster when stored in the fridge.
No knead bread rolls can also be frozen. Freeze baked rolls after they have cooled completely. Wrap individually and place in a freezer safe bag or flash freeze on a baking sheet and then transfer frozen rolls to a bag and store for up to 3 months.
