Dinner Rolls
My Grandma made dinner rolls for dinner every night. They were always hot and fresh out of the oven, perfectly timed for an evening meal.
Whether we were feeding 10 or 25, she never took a shortcut by using store bought rolls… or so I thought!
It wasn’t until I was in my 40’s that I realized Grandma used frozen rolls! Seriously? If it worked for my 98-year-old Grandma, then it definitely works for me!
If you’re looking for some terrific recipes to pair with this, make some Turkey Corn Chowder, Taco Soup or Award Winning Cheeseburger Soup – AMAZING!

Step by Step Directions to make Dinner Rolls
What does it mean to proof dough?
Proofing the dough is the final rise of the dough prior to baking. In this recipe, you’ll wait for the dough to thaw and proof. This takes about three hours. The dough will double in size.
If you don’t allow the dough to proof completely, the rolls will be tough and heavy. Allowing the rolls to rise will keep them light and fluffy!
What is the best way to proof dough?
- Allow it to sit on the counter in a warm area until it doubles in size.
- Frozen dough can be placed in the baking vessel, covered, and placed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Placing the dough in a slightly warm oven can hasten the proofing process also!
How to make Easy Dinner Roll Recipe

- Place the frozen dough in the buttered skillet.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise.
- Baste with butter prior to baking and bake until golden brown.
- After removing from the oven, baste with the remaining butter.
