I can’t believe these fluffy dinner rolls need **zero yeast** – just 15 minutes and they’re golden, buttery clouds.
Last Sunday the kids begged for warm rolls while I was juggling a pot roast. I tossed together this quick dough, popped it in the oven, and the whole house filled with that sweet, toasty aroma. Even the cat stared from the counter, hoping for a crumb.
– 2 ½ cups all‑purpose flour
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp sugar
– ½ tsp salt
– ¼ cup melted butter, plus extra for brushing
– ¾ cup milk, warm
– 1 large egg, lightly beaten
1. whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
2. make a well, pour in melted butter, warm milk, and the egg; stir until a soft dough forms.
3. turn onto a lightly floured surface, knead gently 30 seconds until just smooth.
4. shape into 10 balls, place on a greased baking sheet, and brush tops with a touch more melted butter.
5. bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12‑15 minutes, until the tops are deep golden and you hear a gentle crackle as they rise.
6. let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm – the crust is crisp, the inside melts like clouds.
who would you surprise with a basket of these “no‑yeast” rolls?
pro tip: for an extra buttery shine, brush the rolls with melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic powder just as they come out of the oven.
save this – you’ll want it next time the oven’s already on.
