30 Minute Dinner Rolls – Make these dinner rolls from scratch in just about 30 minutes!! These are great for holidays, weeknights, basically – any time you need them. Using a stand mixer and simple ingredients, you can have these homemade rolls on the table FAST!!
I’ve long been a fan of my bread maker. It takes all the work out of bread and pizza dough, and turns out a consistent product every time. BUT, it takes an hour and a half to be ready to pull out and shape/bake – and then needs to be given more time to rise…. and I needed them (and dinner) to be ready in 45 minutes.
Could I have run to the store? Sure. But WHY? When I can make these little beauties from scratch (and now, so can you!!)
These are great for holidays, weeknights, basically – any time you need them.
I mean, look at the fluffiness!!

You need these in your life. Go, make a batch. Please.

- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbs active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar

- 1 egg
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour all-purpose will also work

I really like this 30 minutes dinner rolls, as I usually don’t have much time to wait for dough to rise. I made these today, I got 16 rolls. Family enjoyed them.
Will definitely make some more. Thank you for the recipe
Ronda Jefferson says
This is the only bread recipe that I’ve ever made where the rolls turned out truly light and fluffy. I’m trying to make some sausage rolls or steak rolls, and I’m wondering if these can be turned into those? I did try it once but I don’t know if I cook them the right way. I added a couple of minutes to the cooking time but they ended up being very dense that way.
Carol says
Very good recipe. My husband is watching his net carbs, so I substituted a portion of the sugar with Splenda. It worked very well. Will use this recipe again. Thank you.
Rachael says
Kylee, these were fantastic! The dough was an absolute dream to work with. I used milk instead of water—personal preference. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Viki says
I don’t often leave comments, but this recipe deserves one. I live in the South and as it’s very humid this time of year, I constantly have to adjust bread recipes. Not this time! Followed as written, rested the 10 minutes and baked. They are perfect rolls! Fluffy, soft, delicious! Usually rolls recipes need 20+ minutes to rise, even in my warm kitchen. Your recipe is spot on! Thanks for a new reliable go to!!
Bobbie says
I made these today for the first time today…. everyone loved them. This will be my go to recipe from now on. Thank you!
Noah says
A quick and great recipe! The only comment I have is that if you like your roles on the sweeter side, you will need 1/2 to 3/4 Cup of sugar instead 1/4.
Other than that, perfect!
Dee says
I am a pretty terrible baker even though I am a great cook. I have tried a lot of different dinner roll recipes over the year and never had much success. These came out great and were super easy and fast to make. I will definitely use this as my go to dinner roll recipe from now on.
Kamila Luna says
Easy rolls recipe and turned out fluffy and delicious! Made it 3 times ! Used vegetable oil , did not use mixer , just a silicon spatula .
Rachel says
Just pulled them out of the oven…oh wow! They are amazing. I topped some of them with cheese I had on hand and it turned out perfectly. Added a few more minutes to brown, now they look bakery level.
Wendy says
Loved the rolls but did let them stand for 30 minutes, will try butter next time after reading the comments and less sugar as we found them a little sweet.
Could use the dough for many things I guess. Thanks
Briar says
I’m SO glad I found this recipe! My family absolutely loves these rolls! I have made them several times and they always turn out great. I’ve sent the link to the recipe to several other people and they rave about them too.
I’ve made them with the olive oil and liked them but then I changed to melted butter and loved them. . The olive oil would be good if you decided to add some herbs or used herbed butter on them. I do agree with some other reviewers that it needs a bit more salt but otherwise they are perfect!
I have also used the dough to make quick cinnamon rolls for church and one child replied when asked if they were good “Good? They taste like a little bit of heaven!”
