You can make soft, fluffy, buttery dinner rolls at home that taste just like the restaurant favorite. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients and yields warm, comforting rolls perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let this mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This shows the yeast is active.
  2. Stir the salt, melted butter, and beaten egg into the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the risen dough. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Arrange the dough balls in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish, leaving about 1 inch of space between them for spreading.
  8. Cover the dish again and let the rolls rise for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are puffy.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  11. While the rolls bake, prepare the butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, honey, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  12. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the cinnamon honey butter mixture.
  13. Serve the warm, buttery rolls immediately.

Notes

  • If you want quicker results, ensure your water temperature is correct for activating the yeast. Water that is too hot will kill the yeast.
  • For extra soft rolls, cover the pan with foil for the first 10 minutes of baking, then remove the foil to allow the tops to brown.
  • You can make the cinnamon honey butter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it soften slightly before serving.
