How to make my own Dinner Rolls without an egg?

Yes! You can make delicious, soft dinner rolls without eggs. Here's an easy egg-free recipe:

Egg-Free Dinner Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 45°C)
• 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
• 3 to 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter (for brushing, optional)

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix the Dough

   • Add melted butter (or oil), flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

   • Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.

4. First Rise

   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.

5. Shape the Rolls

   • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place in a greased 9x13-inch pan.

6. Second Rise

   • Cover and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.

7. Bake

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.

8. Brush with Butter (Optional)

   • For extra softness and flavor, brush the tops with melted butter while warm.

These rolls are soft, fluffy, and just as delicious without eggs! 😊

You can freeze dinner roll dough at two different stages, depending on your preference:

1. After the First Rise (Best for Fresh-Baked Rolls Later)

• Prepare the dough as usual and let it rise once until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough and shape it into individual rolls.
• Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them until solid (about 1-2 hours).
• Transfer the frozen dough balls into an airtight container or freezer bag.
• To bake later: Remove the rolls from the freezer, place them on a greased baking pan, cover, and let them thaw and rise for 4-6 hours (or overnight in the fridge). Bake as usual at 375°F (190°C).

2. After Baking (For Quick, Ready-to-Eat Rolls)

• Bake the rolls completely and let them cool.
• Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
• To reheat: Wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds.

If you want the freshest homemade taste, I recommend freezing after the first rise and shaping—this way, you can enjoy freshly baked rolls whenever you want! 😊
