Sunday night dinner.
To me there is something so comforting and awesome about Sunday night dinner.
Especially during the months towards the end of summer and through fall, when school starts back up and routines begin to form. I love routines and it is probably the only thing I liked about the start of the school year.
Well, I did love back to school shopping.
New notebooks, pencils and general school supplies makes me very excited. I think it is the organization part to it, I love being organized. Which is honestly so ironic since over the past few months I have been so unorganized.
It’s terrible.
Anyway, dinner on Sunday night at our house pretty much always has bread.
Beer bread, sourdough bread, homemade pitas and these rolls.
Oh and Sunday night football. I really love Sunday night football. Seriously, I am so excited.
These light, buttery pull apart rolls are everyone’s favorite.
They are doughy, soft and so good fresh out of the oven with a pat of butter. It’s pure comfort and they are also so good dipped into soups or stews too. Perfect for all the typical Sunday night meals.
The best part is how easy they are.
Just mix the dough with your mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon. Let the dough rise 30 minutes and divide into nine dough balls. Let rise fifteen more minutes, brush with butter and bake twenty minutes.
Hot fresh homemade dinner rolls ready in under two hours with very minimal work. That is what we all want on a Sunday, so I say SCORE!
You can even double the recipe and place a pan in the freezer for another time. Then all you have to do is defrost on the counter before dinner. Then just bake as directed.
So easy.
Oh, and sometimes I like to brown the butter that goes into the dough. Ah huh, now that is crazy awesome too! Either way though, they are delicious and yes, everyone in your family will eat these. Even if they are whole wheat. Trust me, even my picky, picky brother requests these rolls almost every dinner.
They love them. I love them. You will love them!

You guys, they are so fluffy. My mom the bread lover, kept trying to get one before I finished shooting. Can’t say I blame her.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! These rolls are delish and easy. My son told me not to buy any more bread, just make these rolls. I used white flour only (discovered I had run out of wholewheat) but look forward to making them again with the wholewheat, think the wholewheat would taste even better. You are really talented Tieghan. Thanks again for sharing!
Ah so happy your making your own! its fun and delicious!
Thank you so much Rachel!
I made these last night (finally) along with my most favourite recipe of yours, the North Indian baked eggs in spicy tomato sauce.
Omgaaash, these rolls are sooo fluffy and amazing and I can’t get enough! Thanks for another great recipe 🙂
I’m thrilled you love these, and the eggs! Thanks so much Tanvee!
I was wondering if I could substitute the whole wheat pastry flour with just whole wheat flour. Would that make a difference? Or could I use all purpose flour? I love your site btw! Can’t wait to try these
HI! You can, but the rolls might be a little more dense. Still great though!
Hi! This is the first recipe of yours I plan to make even though I probably have half your index bookmarked lol. I was wondering if I could knead the dough by hand? I’ve never worked with whole wheat flour before.
Hi Sarah! Yes, you can kneed the dough by hand, that is no problem and working with the whole wheat flour is not too different. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Hope you love the rolls!
I made the rolls and I froze most of them but saved a couple just to bake and test out. I put them in at 400 for 20 minutes and when I took them out of the oven they were rock hard. What could I have done wrong? Maybe kneaded and played with it too much? O didn’t have anything to properly divide the dough so I just tore pieces off and rolled them into balls. I’m a little scared to thaw the others now. I’m if I can do anything to prevent this again.
Hi Sarah! Rock hard and only 20 minutes? that is very weird. did you do anything different in the recipe? it is hard to say what the problem might be since I am not sure exactly how you made the rolls. SO sorry for any trouble, hope I can help you solve the issue!
Hi,
Can I make without eggs or with something to replace eggs with?
Thanks!
I have never tried this without eggs or with a replacement, so I really cannot say how the end result would be be. Sorry I am not able to help more.
These are easy, delicious and my go-to recipe. Turn out perfect every time! Thanks!
These were so easy and delicious. Thanks! Perfect little roll for the kids’ lunch boxes this week!
