Why Are These Dinner Rolls So Soft?

The secret lies in the balance of enriched dough and proper hydration. Milk, butter, and eggs work together to create a supple dough that bakes into rolls with a soft interior and a lightly chewy crust. Gentle kneading and a warm rise help the dough trap air, giving you those tall, cloud-like rolls.

Ingredients for the Quick Jumbo Dinner Rolls

All-purpose flour provides the structure needed for jumbo-sized rolls without making them dense.

Active dry yeast gives the dough its lift, creating airy layers as the rolls bake.

Warm milk adds richness and tenderness while activating the yeast gently.

Butter brings flavor and softness, keeping the crumb moist.

Eggs enrich the dough, contributing to both color and structure.

Sugar lightly sweetens the rolls and feeds the yeast for a better rise.

Salt balances flavor and strengthens the dough.

How To Make the Quick Jumbo Dinner Rolls

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

Warm the milk until just lukewarm, then stir in sugar and yeast. Let it rest until foamy, signaling the yeast is active.

Step 2: Build the Dough

Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.

Step 3: Knead Until Smooth

Knead the dough until elastic and smooth. This develops the gluten needed for tall, fluffy rolls.

Step 4: First Rise

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Jumbo Rolls

Divide the dough into large portions and shape into smooth balls. Arrange them in a baking dish with slight spacing.

Step 6: Second Rise and Bake

Allow the rolls to rise again until puffy, then bake until deeply golden on top and soft inside.
