1 hour Rolls, yes, you read that right!
1 hour!! I just want to make sure you heard me right! You could have these FRESH, HOT, READY, EVERY DAY IF YOU WANTED, ok I'm done yelling now!
If having fresh bread on the table in an hour or less doesn't get you excited, I don't know what else will? These rolls are great for EVERY DAY because of that fact, or they are even something you can use during the Holidays. Maybe someone forgot the rolls for Thanksgiving, no worries, just a couple of pantry ingredients and you can have these on the table with the turkey!
Flavoring your rolls
I took my rolls on a garlic and parmesan spin because that was what I was craving that day and it paired well with what I was making for dinner. But if you leave out those extra flavorings you can have a basic roll fit for any dinner. Or you can even coat this roll in a little cinnamon sugar to give them a sweet twist.
All that said, this is a great basic roll that you can dress up or dress down any way you like it. Tailor it to the meal it is being paired with and you are on your way to something fantastic.
How to make Homemade Rolls
The process for these rolls is actually quite easy. It is a straight dough method which means that you throw all the ingredients into your stand mixer and let it do the work for you you. The ingredient list is also small, and if you know me that is all I need to be convinced to make it!
This recipe only requires you to have flour, water, yeast, and butter. If you have those and pantry staples like sugar and salt, you are ready to make these rolls.
As I said, you basically throw all of that stuff in a mixer and let it do the work. Let the dough rise for 20 minutes before shaping, shape, and rise 20 more minutes and you are ready to bake.
I add a little roasted garlic powder into the dry ingredients to make my Garlic Parmesan Rolls even more garlicky. And then top them with butter and garlic salt before baking and with freshly grated parm AS SOON as they come out of the oven. This makes for a perfectly irresistible roll!
Extra rolls?
If you happen to have any of these rolls leftover, they do reheat beautifully for a couple of days after baking. But they also make some amazing stuffing if you need them for that too. So maybe you add these to your Thanksgiving week family menu and make a double batch so you have fresh bread to make stuffing with.
As I write that I am thinking that is a great idea and maybe it will have my sister leaving the stovetop behind! Fingers crossed!
I can also share with you that I tested these in many shapes and it works any way you want to work it. You could make parker house rolls by putting three little rounds into a muffin tin, or make equal-sized rounds and place them in a 9 x13 pan for traditional "Hawaiian" style rolls. Don't let the shape of the pan you have stop you from making these, they are life-changing!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup warm water, 110-115 degrees
- 1 tablespoon Active Dry Yeast
- 2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, soft, almost melted
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 4 ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Roasted Garlic Powder
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted, for brushing on top
- Garlic Salt, for sprinkling on top
- Fresh Block Parmesan, for grating after baking
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and allow to sit for 5 minutes to activate.
- Add the butter, flour, roasted garlic powder, and salt and mix with the dough hook until well combined and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough in the mixer for about 5 minutes, the dough should be only slightly sticky to the touch, if it is too wet, add more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. If your oven has a proof setting turn that on or set it to the lowest temperature and leave the door cracked with a wooden spoon.
- After the first rise, remove the dough from the bowl and shape it to fit your pan of choice. This recipe will make about 18-20 traditional sized rolls and will fill a 9 x 13 pan.
- Prepare your 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and space each roll evenly in the pan. Allow to rise, covered for 20 more minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400-degrees.
- Brush each roll with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and grate the parmesan cheese to your heart's content over the top of the buns.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You could also divide the dough into 12 and then split those 12 into 3 each, form small rounds and place them together in a muffin pan for parker house rolls. Do what makes you happy.
