You can then cut it with your pastry cutter, cutting down the middle in a straight line and then across to form small rectangles. The result will be about 16 rectangles (or more).

Recipe Notes/Tips

  1. The dough may feel sticky initially before the first rise, but that’s okay! Make sure to grease your bowl before placing it in there to rise.
  2. Use your knuckles to deflate the dough after rising. This releases air from the dough for the best results. 
  3. Ensure to flour your surface before kneading.
  4. I used Monk fruit sweetener, but you can use sugar! 
  5. Whatever you do, do NOT over-knead your dough. You should only do so until it is soft and smooth.
  6. Please ensure to let your dough rise the second time before baking.
  7. Do not overbake or burn these rolls. I suggest setting a timer for 15 minutes. Please note that your baking time may change if your rolls are bigger or your oven works differently.
  8. Suppose you need help checking if your rolls are ready. Feel free to do a toothpick test to ensure your dough isn’t raw!

Honey Butter Dinner Rolls Make-Ahead Tips!

  1. You can make these rolls the day ahead by completing 1-7 steps. Just cover them well and refrigerate them overnight. Alternatively, you can freeze them. Whenever you want to use your dinner rolls, bake and enjoy!
  2. Remember that baking will differ depending on whether they are in the refrigerator or freezer. If you left them in the fridge overnight, then simply preheat and bake them at the temperature stated in step 8 (375F) and time. But if the rolls are frozen, you may need to allow them to thaw in the refrigerator. You can also bake them from frozen at a lower temperature of 345 F for 25 minutes or until they are fully cooked and the top is golden.

I’ve got to be honest… It’s so unlikely you’ll have any of these leftovers. But if you do, cover them and tuck them in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Variations and Substitutions

  • Bread flour can be substituted for all-purpose flour, though it may result in chewier rolls.
  • No dry active yeast, no problem! Use double the measurement of fresh yeast. 
  • You do not want to brush honey butter sauce on the rolls after baking? Don’t! Eat them as is.

FAQs – Dinner Rolls

Why are my dinner rolls so dense, and how do you keep dinner rolls soft?

The main reason may be due to your measurements or the type of flour you’ve used. Be careful when measuring to ensure you don’t add too much flour. Also, if you do not have all-purpose flour and use bread flour, for example, this can lead to dense rolls.

Can I bake dinner rolls at a lower temperature?

Technically, you could, though that doesn’t mean that you should. The temperature of 375 is perfect for these dinner rolls to rise to the occasion. If you wish to bake them at a lower temperature, you must increase the baking time.

What do I do if my dough is too sticky?

This dough should be a little sticky, but if it’s too sticky, you can add just a touch of flour. However, do not add too much or you will wind up with dense rolls.

What happens if you bake wet dough?

Wet dough may collapse when baking. Do your best to stick to these directions to have these rolls come out perfectly.
