Dinner Rolls From Scratch that turn out every time!

Basic Dinner Rolls from scratch recipeEverybody loves fresh bread, so sometimes all you need to make dinner super special is some hot, fresh dinner rolls and a little butter. I bet you think they are hard to make, but you couldn’t be more wrong! Thanks to this super easy recipe from JMM Danette, you will be putting out hot, fresh dinner rolls any time you want.

If you love dinner rolls, you’ll be delighted to keep this basic recipe handy. All the ingredients are things you most likely keep on hand all the time, so you can throw them together without too much advance planning. They’ll be ready in just a bit over an hour, so if you start them when you start thinking about what’s for dinner, they’ll be ready when you are. Make ahead tip: Make the dough, do the first rise, and roll the balls for the rolls. Line your “roll pan” with foil and load up the rolls as though you were planning to bake them. Freeze them, pop them out of the pan, and store them in a freezer bag to bake later. Just pull them out of the freezer, put them in the pan and let them thaw and do their second rise in the pan. Bonus: The foil will save on cleanup.
