These quick and fluffy dinner rolls are perfect for any meal, ready in just an hour, and incredibly soft and delicious.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, dry milk powder, sugar, and salt.
Ensure the yeast is evenly distributed for consistent rising.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Use warm water to activate the yeast effectively.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten to develop slightly.
Resting the dough helps it become easier to handle.
Butter an 8-inch round cake pan to prepare it for the rolls.
Ensure the pan is well-coated to prevent sticking.
On a floured surface, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Arrange the dough balls in the prepared pan, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Cover with a damp cloth to retain moisture during rising.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the rolls are rising.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
This step gives the rolls a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the rolls halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite spread.
Serve with butter or jam for a delightful treat.
