I know that there are thousands of bread recipes including the recipe for making kaiser rolls.  But  I love this recipe, it is quick easy and so far fail proof.  I have made it hundreds of times and they always turn out,  so in my book it is a keeper! I also like it because you do not have to knead the dough.  I have a lot of problems with pain in my wrists, so it works best for me.  My girls and I love cooking together, some times it would be faster or less messy without their help…. but I feel it is best to let them help while they are still eager to learn.

In large bowl add

  • 2 cups warm water ( if it is too hot or too cold…you will kill the yeast.  So make sure it is warm)
  • 2 TBS yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Give it a few minutes in the bowl, to make sure your yeast is working.

Then add:

  • 3 eggs whipped lightly
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of apple sauce to make them extra moist, in place of part of the butter.

Mix well….

IMG_1903

Start to whisk in the flour one cup at a time ( for a total of 6 cups) you will also need 1/2- 1 cup  when you shape the rolls.

IMG_1906

You will need to switch over to a spoon to mix with,  on about cup 4 of flour.

Dough WILL be sticky, scrap down the sides of the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel…I use both.

IMG_1912

Set aside in a warm place, (like a sunny window seat) and allow to raise.  Till doubled in size. ( if you are in a hurry let rise 20 mins other wise let it rise 60 mins).  Works best to wait the full 60 mins.

IMG_1915

Take off the plastic wrap, punch down to get the air out.  You will need to dust with flour.

IMG_1919

Take out HALF the dough, spread on floured counter top. With your hands make  into a circle.  Keep dusting with flour so it is easy to work with. ( do the same with the other half of dough) I have found it is just easier to work with only half at a time.

IMG_1920

Cut into wedges, and roll up in to crescent roll shape.  Or you can just make balls  in the shape of dinner rolls.

IMG_1921

Place them on a greased pan, Bake 400 degrees 10-12 mins

IMG_1924

Once cooked, brush a bit of butter on top to give them a nice shine.  Take off baking sheet, cool on cooling rack.

Last but not least enjoy!

No Knead Bread Dinner Roll Recipe

No Knead bread dinner rolls. Super easy to make and you can use normal All Purpose Flour or Bread Flour too.

  • 2 cups warm water (if it is too hot or too cold…you will kill the yeast. So make sure it is warm)
  • 2 TBS yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs whipped lightly
  • 3/4 cup melted butter (or do 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup apple sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups All Purpose or Bread flour works (may need more or less depending on dough.)
  • 1/2-1 cup flour to use when you shape the dinner rolls before you bake them
  1. First mix:
  2. cups warm water ( if it is too hot or too cold…you will kill the yeast. So make sure it is warm)
  3. TBS yeast
  4. /2 cup sugar
  5. Give it a few minutes in the bowl, to make sure your yeast is working.

  16. Take out HALF the dough, spread on floured counter top. With your hands make into a circle. Keep dusting with flour so it is easy to work with, do the same with the other half of dough. I have found it is just easier to work with only half at a time.

  18. Place them on a greased pan, Bake 400 degrees 10-12 mins. If baking two pans switch the rack they are on in the oven half way thru baking, for even cooking times.
  19. Once cooked, brush a bit of butter on top to give them a nice shine. Take off baking sheet, cool on cooling rack.
  20. Last, but not least enjoy!

  85. Tammy Kay Ward

    Thank you for the recipe card U0001f603I gotta try to make these for my hubby

  86. Jan Whalen Morgan

    I love how you use the “by feel” on adding flour. I use this method when making 200 dozen cinnamon rolls for a Church fundraiser AND pie dough for 20 – 25 apple pies. (Why dirty up the kitchen more than one day). We then freeze the pies uncooked and bake them as needed through the year.

  94. BethanyandJeff Roberts

    Thank you for sharing! We love rolls so we are definitely going to try 😉

  96. Laura Victor Safar

    Can you do round rolls with this dough? Or does it have to be crescent rolls?

  99. BethanyandJeff Roberts

    If you don’t use all the dough, what’s the best way to store the rest?

  117. Faith Mendez

    Sorry to bother you but when will you be doing the paint night again? Have you been doing them and I just haven’t seen. I just loved painting with you guys

  118. Monica Davis

    I’m in Baltimore and it’s like 90 degrees today so no way outside!

  142. Kathy Jensen Vadapalli

    I just caught the end of what you said about the Kitchenaide— do you use that normally?

  144. Kathleen Canik Wick

    I love that you let your children help. We makes kolaches with all the girls in my family.

  159. Tina Jones Palmisano

    I love how you cut down the dough. Great idea. Easier and faster than what I do.

  166. Wendy Griffiths-Dunmoyer

    How long would you cook them if you did dinner rolls in muffin tins?

  167. Dawn Williams Neal

    Do you have a printable recipe? I see the recipe on your blog with pictures.
