Homemade dinner rolls are soft, golden and buttery, and a perfect accompaniment to any meal. Recipe has directions to make by hand or bread machine.
Thanksgiving is almost here… that means it’s almost time to whip up a batch of these delicious Homemade Dinner Rolls, one of our family’s holiday traditions!

I make these homemade dinner rolls often throughout the year, but they are a tradition and always a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. Golden brown, soft on the inside, and absolutely amazing when served warm, with a bit of butter (or honey butter).

YUM! I am getting hungry just writing about these rolls! Here’s how to make them.

Homemade Dinner Rolls Can Be Made By Hand OR Bread Machine

I usually make the dough in my bread machine for the easiest way to prepare the dough, but it is also quite easy to make these by hand (with just a bit of mixing and kneading).

I’ve included instructions for making these BOTH ways in the printable recipe (below), and really hope you will consider making them, especially if you’ve never made dinner rolls before.

Most of the prep time involved is not ACTIVE prep time, it’s just waiting time, while the dough rises.  Read an epic novel or eat an entire container of chocolate bonbons while the dough rises. Whatever floats your boat.

You’ll be glad you put the time in and made these delicious homemade dinner rolls! There’s just something about freshly baked bread that is perfect for any celebration!

Homemade Dinner Rolls Dough Is Made, Shaped, And Is Ready To Bake

Here are the rolls, ready to go into the oven. This is what they look like after dough has been mixed, and has risen to double the size. The dough has been formed into individual rolls.

I’ve placed these homemade dinner rolls in a large round pan, but you can also bake them on a cookie sheet or in a cake pan (for square rolls), if desired. I’ve done all of the above, at one time or another!

Baked In a ROUND Pan

Just out of the oven… golden brown homemade dinner rolls… ready to be brushed with additional butter. Yummy.

Baked On A 13×9 Baking Sheet

Here are some I made on a baking sheet (my favorite way to bake them). The top of the homemade dinner rolls have been brushed with melted butter and they are ready to serve! Don’t they look delicious? Trust me… they ARE delicious!

YUM! Hand me a homemade dinner roll please, and pass the butter… STAT!

The smell in the house while fresh bread dough is baking… honestly, it’s one of my favorite smells!  If you enjoy homemade bread, I hope you will also check out my recipes for No Knead Bread (amazing!), or Miracle Bread.  They are so good, and are both VERY EASY to make!!

These (also easy to prepare) homemade dinner rolls are wonderful! I really hope you will check out the recipe below, and give them a try. I really think you will LOVE them! Have a great day.

You’re gonna love this easy, homemade Miracle Bread. The recipe makes two loaves and is so easy, even my son can make it! That’s gotta be some kind of MIRACLE!Today I am sharing a recipe I’ve used for making homemade French bread loaves the last couple of years. It’s called “Miracle Bread” and it is DELICIOUS!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

I found the recipe for this easy, simple French bread on the internet, from Gina at Home Joys. I’ve made it at least 10 times since then, and can heartily recommend this, EVEN if you’ve never baked bread before! The slices are fantastic toasted, or they can be used to make French Toast, also (YUM).

Miracle Bread Is So Easy To Make… It’s A Miracle!

I guess that’s the Miracle of it… even if you’ve NEVER made homemade bread before, you can make this delicious, and amazingly simple bread to enjoy! The loaves are wonderful sliced and warm, with butter. The recipe makes two loaves, so you can eat one and give the other one away (or freeze for later), if you want!

I love to bake this bread, especially in the Fall. One year I baked 8 loaves and wrapped them up really nicely and surprised several neighbors on our street and some friends with a loaf of warm, freshly baked Miracle bread.

It’s So Easy To Make Miracle Bread, Even Our Son Can Make It!

A couple years ago I taught our youngest son and his girlfriend how to make miracle bread! Some of the pictures shown below are from this fun morning! I sure hope you will try this recipe. You’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to make fresh, homemade Miracle Bread!

Okay… we’ve mixed the dough all together. I guess now we have to wait for it to rise? YEP! I personally think they are really cute bread makers!

Okay… this dough has risen and is rolled out. Are you saying I’m now supposed to roll this dough thing up like a log?

Rolling the miracle bread dough up… like a boss!

Now It’s Time To Bake The Miracle Bread!

Okay… the dough is rolled out, formed into loaves, and diagonal slits have been made on top of the loaves, and the dough has risen again. Time to bake!!!! Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes, and then it is DONE!

Hey- guess what? We just made homemade French bread… It’s a MIRACLE! Miracle Bread, that is!

Ready To EAT!

The golden brown loaves of Miracle Bread sure look good, straight out of the oven! I sure could slice a piece right now, and gobble it up (with some butter, of course).

Time for a warm slice, with some butter! Isn’t it nice looking? Yay- we have Miracle Bread success!

Don’t be afraid to try this “no kneading necessary” miracle bread. If you can stir ingredients, and roll out dough, you CAN make this! Most of the prep time involved is really just the sitting around, waiting for the dough to rise.

Simply go ahead and get lots of other things accomplished while waiting… and STILL end up with two delicious loaves of home baked bread (and an incredible smelling home)! You’ll be the hero of the day when your family sits down and enjoys your freshly baked miracle bread! Enjoy!

Keyword: miracle bread

Servings: 20 slices (2 loaves)

Calories Per Serving: 156 kcal

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
• 2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey)
• 2 cups warm water
• 2 Tablespoons melted butter
• 2 teaspoons table salt
• 6-7 cups all purpose flour (will use 6 cups plus more, if necessary)
• Non-stick spray (or a bit of oil)
• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• Sesame seeds , if desired, for garnish

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup warm water with the yeast and sugar (or honey). Stir until the yeast has fully dissolved. Let sit for a 3-4 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups warm water, 2 Tablespoons melted butter, and the salt. When fully mixed, add the yeast/water mixture from the small bowl. Stir to combine well.
3. Add 6 cups of all purpose flour to dough mixture. Stir well by hand until fully combined (or use a dough hook and stand mixer). If the dough is way too sticky, add a bit more flour a little at a time, until mixture is not sticky.
4. Form the dough into a ball. Spray a large bowl with non stick spray, or lightly oil the bowl. Add the dough ball to the bowl; turn dough over, to coat sides with spray (or oil).
5. Cover bowl with a tea towel, and let rise for 30-60 minutes in a warm place, free from drafts. The dough should double in size. Once doubled in size, divide the dough in half.
6. Roll each half section of dough out (like making a pie!) on a very lightly floured work surface. Shape the dough into a 9-10 inch long rectanglular shape. Using your (clean) hands, roll up the dough, starting with the long edge of the dough and roll tightly up into a loaf shape. Tuck the edges in slightly and carefully place the "loaf" onto a greased or sprayed baking sheet (large enough for two loaves!). Repeat process with other half of dough and place a couple inches apart from other loaf on prepared baking sheet.
7. Using a very sharp knife, make diagonal slits (about an inch deep) across the tops of each loaf. Cover the loaves with a tea towel and let the dough rise again, for one hour, or until dough loaves have doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees during the last 15 minutes of rising time.
8. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and 2 Tablespoons milk. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush this mixture over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle each loaf with sesame seeds (or can substitute poppy seeds, if desired).
9. Bake bread at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove loaves to wire racks. Let bread cool slightly before slicing, for best results. Enjoy!

Delicious Cinnamon Raisin Bread can be made by hand, or in a bread machine. A delicious loaf that tastes wonderful toasted or used for French toast!

Does anyone out there love the smell of a fresh baked loaf of bread? I know I sure do. Well, how about a recipe for Cinnamon Raisin Bread… that extra burst of cinnamon flavor and chewy raisins, makes this a homemade bread loaf I’m pretty sure you will love!

I really enjoy baking bread, using a handy dandy bread machine that I received as a gift several years ago. It’s a real time saver for me to be able to dump the ingredients into the machine, turn it on, and walk away. I can come back a few hours later to a wonderful hot loaf of bread. Best part? The smell of that cinnamon raisin bread baking… don’t even get me started.

Do I Have To Have A Bread Machine To Make This Cinnamon Raisin Bread?

NOPE! The good news here is that you DON’T have to own a bread machine to make this delicious loaf of cinnamon raisin bread. Aren’t you glad? You can make it all by hand (with a little help from a dough hook on a stand mixer or your own brute strength!)

This simple recipe transforms into a delicious soft cinnamon-raisin filled bread that is wonderful toasted or even used to make French Toast (my preferred way – oh yes…so good!).

Yes, it’s so easy, even our family monster “BIFF” can make it!

As you can see from this picture (below), our family monster, named BIFF, helped me make this loaf of cinnamon raisin bread. BIFF (in all his hideousness), makes random practical joke appearances throughout the year in our home. My dislike for Biff knows no limits… he creeps me out!

My practical joker husband once stuck scary BIFF into a huge Christmas wreath hanging over our fireplace in the living room. I hosted an entire cookie exchange party for 20 women in our home one evening BEFORE ever noticing it was hanging there, right by our Christmas tree… ugh!

At least this time BIFF didn’t surprise me in the refrigerator, our bed, my office chair or in our pantry, as he has previously! I have my sneaky, evil husband to thank for the heart attack it almost gave me, finding him there! Most people would hate this as much as me, right? Sigh.

Soooo… BIFF and I hope you will enjoy this delicious recipe for Cinnamon Raisin Bread…it’s a keeper! Try making French toast with this bread. Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Have a GREAT day.

8. Once doubled in size, punch down dough; ADD RAISINS, then knead it several times on a lightly floured work surface to fully combine raisins into the dough.
9. Roll the dough out into a 9x15 inch rectangle. Starting with the narrow end, roll up the dough tightly. Pinch the edges together, to seal.
10. Tuck the ends of the loaf under slightly, and carefully place the loaf into a 9x5 inch loaf pan that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.
