This recipe has been updated.

After making these rolls multiple times, I have updated the recipe a little bit to reflect some changes I’ve made for better results.

  • In the video, I used dry milk, but I have updated the recipe to whole milk. 1% and 2% milk can also be used if that is what you have at hand.
  • You can use either active dry yeast or instant yeast. It doesn’t really matter the type of yeast you use. The rolls will still turn out awesome. If using active dry yeast, it’s best to proof it for best results. You may skip the proofing process if using instant yeast as long as you are sure your yeast is still alive.

Just a little science about the no-knead dinner rolls

No-knead bread is not a rocket science. Creating a wet, loose dough is the basis for these no-knead bread rolls, in that way, the gluten becomes mobile and naturally align themselves – another science :). You cannot knead this wet dough, even if you try you will end up creating a mess. Wet dough creates a tender and moist bread.

Most of the protein in wheatis gluten and this gluten is what allows the dough trap the carbon dioxideproduced by the yeast. In other words, it is the gluten that enables the dough to rise. Without this gluten, the dough will not rise.

There are 2 types of flour that arecommonly used for baking bread:

  • The all-purposeflour: This is more popular in households because it has lesser gluten content in it and it is suitable for most baking and food such as pies.
  • The Bread Flour: This flour is the one designed for yeast bread. It has a high protein content in which the yeast can work on to give you a beautiful andgreat tasting loaf

Of course, cake flour and self-rising flourhas nothing to do with this list because it is too low in protein. Stay away from cake flour in Breadmaking!

The explanationabove shows the reason why I always use Bread flour for all my bread recipes. This is not to say that all-purpose flour will not work, but it is clear that the bread flour will yield a better result. I use unbleached bread flour to be precise just to avoid any of the chemicals that come with the bleachedflour.

These quick, soft no-knead dinner rolls can be eaten as breakfast or coffee time treats, brunch, a perfect snack between lunch and dinner, it also makes a good mealtime accompaniment.

Notes:

  1. The Dough that is formed will be very wet and sticky don’t be tempted to add more flour. A dense dough will not work for this recipe.
  2. You can form your rolls in a couple of ways: I like to just cut out the size I need per time and tightly roll it into a ball; You can also turn the dough to a well-floured surface and cut out the number of rolls you want and begin to shape each into balls.
  3. Brush the surface of the dough with some melted butter or Egg wash (1Egg + 2 Tbsp water whisked together). This will enable the Bread rolls to come out golden brown once it’s baked.
  4. I made 24 mini rolls in a 15 by 10 baking pan but this will make 12 regular rolls in a 13 by 9 baking pan.
  5. Brush the surface of the rolls with butter to soften the crust.
