How to Prepare Easy No Yeast Dinner Rolls

Follow these simple steps to create your Easy No Yeast Dinner Rolls:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s hot and ready for your rolls.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and melted Challenge salted butter. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form. Don’t overmix; just combine until no dry flour remains.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

Dust your work surface with flour. Transfer the dough to the surface and gently knead it a few times until it’s smooth. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls.

Step 6: Bake the Rolls

Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top.

Step 7: Serve Warm

FAQ

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt?

What can I use if I don’t have baking soda?

You can substitute baking powder for baking soda. Use about 3 teaspoons of baking powder in place of 1 teaspoon of baking soda, but you may want to adjust the salt as baking powder contains some sodium.
