Tips for making the best dinner rolls

Add the flour just until the dough is soft and your hands don’t stick to much. You want to keep the flour light so the dough will be as light and airy as it can be.

Want extra buttery rolls? Brush with butter before and after baking! When you brush them before they will get super golden and shiny on top. And when you brush them after baking, when they are fresh hot from the oven, some of the butter will sink in resulting is super flavorful dinner rolls.

How do you keep dinner rolls warm?

You can make dinner rolls in advance, they will last fresh for around 3 days if stored in an airtight container. To warm them up just spritz a bit of water on top and take to the oven. Bake for around 7 minutes at 350 degrees.
