Is it possible to have homemade rolls on the table in 30 minutes start to finish? I read about this recipe on Real Mom Kitchen blog and just had to give it a try! We had them for sunday dinner yesterday and true to their name they were on the table in 30 minutes. (OK OK they took a little more than 30 minutes for me–more like 45 minutes total—but still pretty fast)My boys LOVED them. They were a bit dense, but very soft with a nice smooth texture. I have to admit that I still like my favorite roll recipe the best ( buttermilk roll recipe found here which you can make the dough ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to a week until your ready to roll them out), BUT these were VERY good considering they are fast if you haven’t planned ahead. Next time I may try letting them rise for 20 minutes instead of 10, and see if they are a little lighter. So if you are short on time but want a warm, soft homemade roll–give these a try. I was very impressed!! Thanks Laura for sharing a great recipe!
Now I am off to explore the Tennesse Aquarium with my boys! Hope you all have a fun Labor Day!

These breadrolls are fabulous , may i ask please what the T next to yeast is equal to , teaspoon o tablespoon o something else …thankyou in advance for your answer.
these look so good and EASY….I am going to make these for sure!!
I've been wanting to try these! They look great!
Mary, I'll just answer for my sister Melanie since it looks like I've seen your question first. "T" stands for Tablespoon. (and fyi, if you ever happen to see a "t" that would stand for teaspoon. Normally they are abbreviated as Tb and tsp but sometimes recipes will just shorten them to T and t.)
Thanks for stopping by! Happy baking! :)
I have been making this very similar recipe for years and they are great! The dough also makes super quick, tasty cinnamon rolls, you've gotta try that!
This looks so quick and easy. Thanks for sharing Melanie.
I made these last night after seeing your post.
I thought they were light and fluffy enough, but lacked the true depth of flavor that a prolonged rising gives.
I would make again, maybe add a tad more salt to boost the flavor.
Those look great!!
I agree. Your buttermilk rolls rock!! I tried them the other day for the first time and they were amazing! I liked them better after the dough sat in the fridge for 5 days. Funny how that is… :) But these rolls look great!
Wow, even 45 minutes is pretty amazing! I'm printing this out :) Yet one more recipe to try.
I agree with the other comments…this is a good roll for a very quick roll. But I still prefer your buttermilk rolls! (And I also think they're better after they've sat in the fridge a few days). Thanks for the great recipes!
If I am using instant yeast, how much should I use? Thanks for sharing your recipes.
