What Makes These No Yeast Rolls So Irresistible?

Unlike yeast rolls, these dinner rolls get their rise from baking powder and a touch of baking soda, resulting in an airy, tender crumb without the long proofing times. They come together in a single bowl—no stand mixer required—and are incredibly forgiving. The result is golden, fluffy rolls with the kind of soft texture that everyone loves.

Whether served warm from the oven with a simple pat of butter or alongside your favorite soup, these rolls are destined to disappear fast at the table.

Prepare Your Baking Essentials

A nonstick surface is essential for releasing the delicate rolls without tearing. Line your baking tray with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for even baking and easy cleanup. For precise measurements and consistent results, use an Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display. This guarantees that every roll bakes to the perfect texture.

For mixing the dough, a sturdy spatula or your hands are all you need. However, if you like to keep your workspace clean and your counters organized, the REALINN Under Sink Organizer, 2 Tier Slide Out comes in handy for storing baking tools and supplies right at your fingertips.

How to Shape and Bake Perfect No Yeast Dinner Rolls

Shaping dinner rolls is easier than you might think. Once your dough comes together, lightly flour your hands and divide the mixture into equal portions. To ensure they bake evenly, arrange the rolls with about an inch of space between them.

A pastry brush helps you coat the tops with melted butter both before and after baking, yielding a glossy, fragrant finish. If you want to reduce sticking, the Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet is also excellent for baking rolls—just remember to grease or line it first!

Serving Suggestions for Fluffy No Yeast Dinner Rolls

Enjoy these rolls warm with a pat of salted butter, honey, or even a drizzle of olive oil. Pair them with hearty soups, stews, or your favorite salad served in a Bentgo Salad Container for a fresh touch at the table.

To keep leftover rolls soft, store them in an airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers and gently reheat before serving.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy release.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Use an Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display for precise flour measurement.
3. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir gently until just combined—the dough will be sticky, but do not overmix.
4. Using lightly floured hands, scoop portions of dough and gently shape into balls (about 9–12). Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
5. Brush tops with additional melted butter for a golden color and added flavor.
6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. To check doneness, an ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking inserted into the center should read at least 190°F (88°C).
7. Remove from oven and brush with more melted butter. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
