Soft Dinner Rolls

Perfectly soft dinner rolls, fluffy and deliciously golden. Grab some before they disappear in seconds!

Bread, the one food we all take for granted, don’t we? It comes in countless shapes and sizes, but it’s a staple food throughout the world, and it has been so from the beginning of times, at least as far as the recorded history is concerned.

Although nowadays it is preached that wholegrain stuff is better, healthier, wiser to consume, and l don’t say no to that, let’s face it, white bread will always be the most popular choice.

When it comes to cooked food, we might choose to eat some dishes without bread, but some are still delicious with a nice slice of bread, or a perfectly fluffy roll. Soups, for example, either cream soups or hearty ones, they all go so well with bread. Throw some butter on it, and you have the ultimate comfort food no matter the season.

Sweet old days when our grandmas used to bake bread daily to feed the whole family. We might not bake it as often now, since it’s so convenient to go get it from a shop, but you can only get the real deal when you make it yourself. And that is a treat indeed!

I had in my mind for quite a while to make some soft dinner rolls, don’t know why l’ve never done it before. After I made my Soft vanilla pretzels, I got a real taste for baking. And it is so easy. Once the dough is kneaded, all you have to do it get on with your stuff.

Then, a couple of hours later roll up your sleeves, shape some gorgeous rolls out of the dough, and off they go in the oven. They are ready in 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the oven. Dead easy! Even my 9 month old baby girl loved the rolls. You can see her chubby little hand in this picture:

I was trying to take some photos and she was so fascinated by the rolls, she kept trying to play with them. She’s my little explorer ready to conquer the world. How time goes by, she was only a newborn yesterday and today she’s rolling, crawling and eager to walk. My cute little bunny!

Going back to the soft dinner rolls, just follow these simple steps, and the rolls are ready in no time! And then, you can even use the rolls as sliders, no need to buy them. Making your own food from scratch can be time-consuming, but it’s so rewarding.
