After posting my How to Stick to an All Cash Grocery Budget post, many of y’all wanted to know what the recipe for our homemade dinner rolls were. Making homemade bread is such a fun and delicious way to save more money on your grocery budget and I swear, my bread machine * was one of the best investments I have ever made.
I will tell you that I do not make these with 100 percent whole wheat flour because we have not completely conditioned ourselves to enjoy the taste of all whole wheat bread but we are slowly getting there! 🙂
These rolls are also great to freeze so you can reheat anytime you some delicious homemade dinner rolls. Oh and I cannot make a small roll to save my life so even though the original recipe says that it will yield about 20-24 rolls, I usually only get about 15 out of it because…I like big rolls and I cannot lie. 😉
Homemade Dinner Rolls
1 cup warm milk (I usually put in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour (I use half whole-wheat and half-unbleached flour.)
2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
Directions
Add ingredients in the order on the list in your bread machine. Run on dough cycle. When dough is complete, divide into 20-24 portions and shape into balls.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 13-16 minutes until golden brown.
Yield: 20-24 rolls
These are super tasty without adding anything extra to them but we do like to brush a little melted butter on top of them for an even sweeter, buttery taste!

These look so good! They remind me of the cafeteria rolls.
Haha. Lydia must have went to a much nicer school then I did! ^ These look delicious! I’m going to try them out this weekend!
They are amazing and your husband will probably love them – or at least mine does and him and the boys I can’t keep them longer than a day! 🙂
Making these tonight. Thanks Jessi!
Can these be frozen? I work and go to grad School and with 3 boys and a husband making food a head of time and freezing them would be amazing. Also are the hot pocket freezable?
Yes! I freeze them all the time. 🙂
Do you freeze them before they are baked or after?
