They are the Best Soft and Buttery Dinner Rolls to serve this holiday season! These dinner rolls promise to impress everyone with their pillowy goodness.

Best Homemade dinner rolls

Do you like buying dinner rolls from the store or making them at home? I like making dinner rolls at home. However, when I don’t have time, I buy them. But nothing can beat a homemade dinner roll. Hence, I try my best to make it ahead of time and freeze them.


These dinner rolls are hard to say no to as they are buttery, pillowy soft, and delicious. They are a staple in our house. It is the only dinner roll recipe I use for our holiday dinners. It is great for lunches, sliders, or serving on the side of soups.

How to make the soft & buttery Dinner Rolls

Did I say this is the Best Soft & Buttery Dinner Roll Recipe and the only one you should have in your recipe collection? I have improved our family recipe to make it softer & buttery.  

I have increased the butter a little and added 1- egg and 1 Tablespoon of oil to get the pillowy texture and buttery flavor. If you don’t like adding the oil, replace it with 1 Tablespoon of butter. Although, I highly recommend adding 1 Tablespoon of oil to get the softness. 

Soft & buttery dinner rolls

This recipe has 2 rise times. First rise for 1 hour and the 2nd rise for 40 minutes. Remember to preheat the oven during the 2nd rise time. 

Egg wash or no egg wash? Well, it is your personal preference. I like applying the egg wash as it gives a shiny golden color to the rolls.

Ingredients for the Dinner Rolls Recipe

  • All-purpose Flour
  • Instant Yeast 
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Egg
  • Whole Milk
  • Butter – Unsalted
  • Oil – vegetable

  • Combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the center.
  • Add the egg and warm milk to the flour mixture and mix well. Add oil and knead until all the flour comes together. 
  • Next, add the room temperature butter and knead until the butter is well incorporated into the dough and finally forms a very soft dough. 
  • Now, turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes or until the dough springs back.
  • Put the dough into an oiled bowl: cover it with cling wrap and leave it somewhere warm for 1 hour or till the dough is doubled in size.
  • After an hour, punch the dough down, and leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 15 equal size pieces for medium-sized rolls.
  • Place them on a parchment-lined 9X13 pan
  • Cover and let it rise until double in size, about 40 minutes. (depends on how warm the room is)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180° C / 356° F
  • After 40 minutes, gently brush the rolls with egg wash. 
  • Bake the rolls for 18- 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. 
  • Remove the rolls from the oven, brush the top with some butter and let it cool for a few minutes. 
  • Serve warm
