No-Knead Dinner Rolls


No-Knead Dinner Rolls

9 Cups flour
1 Cup sugar
4 cups milk
1 heaping tsp. baking powder
1 scant tsp. baking soda
1 Cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. salt
2 pkgs (4 ½ tsp.) Active Dry Yeast

Pour 4 cups of milk into a stock pot or Dutch oven. Add one cup of sugar and 1 cup of vegetable oil. Stir to combine. Now, turn the burner on medium to medium-low and “scald” the mixture. Before the mixture boils, turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool to warm/lukewarm (between 90 and 110°).

When the mixture is the right temperature add in 4 cups of flour and 2 packages of active dry yeast. Stir together until incorporated. Add another 4 cups of flour. Stir together and all to sit, covered for an hour. After about an hour is should have almost doubled in size. When is has risen sufficiently add 1 more cup of flour, 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder, 1 scant teaspoon of baking soda and about 2 tablespoons of salt. Stir until combined.

Butter 1 or 2 muffin pans. Form the rolls by pinching off a walnut sized piece of dough and rolling it into a little ball. Repeat and tuck three balls of dough into each buttered muffin cup. Continue until pan is full. Cover and all to rise for about 1 to 2 hours.

Bake in a 400° oven until golden brown, about 17-20 minutes.


The rolls were yummy although not as good as my mother's recipe that I need to get from her. I cut the recipe in half and it made about 2-3 dozen (I forgot to count). I did have to add more flour because the dough was really sticky and I couldn't roll it into balls. I also didn't have muffin pans so I just used a 9X13 metal pan. They also took about 10 minutes longer to cook. I think they had a little too much salt and they were kinda crumbly. All in all we were happy with the result especially when we put on lots of butter because that's how we like it!
I found the recipe at http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ She has some great recipes covering appetizers, main dishes to desserts.
