Easy No Knead Rolls
Easy No Knead Rolls are my holiday holy grail for soft and sweet rolls. They deliver all the comfort of fresh-baked rolls without the fuss of kneading or complicated steps. Whether you’re hosting a crowd or just craving something warm and buttery, these rolls rise to the occasion with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Ingredients
Dough
Egg Wash
Honey Glaze
Instructions
Dough
- Step 1
In a large mixing bowl. Combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and eggs.
- Step 2
In another small mixing bowl, combine milk and melted butter. Make sure the temperatures of both butter and milk are at room temperature or the mixture will immediately solidify.
- Step 3
Using a rubber or wooden spatula, gently fold milk mixture into flour mixture.
- Step 4
Scrape flour from the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix until the dough comes together and there is no flour left.
- Step 5
Use your hands (lightly floured), spatula or plastic bowl scraper to gently fold the edges of the dough toward the middle, a few times, until a smooth ball formed.
- Step 6
Flip the dough seam side down. Carefully transfer it to a clean, lightly greased mixing bowl to proof.
- Step 7
Cover mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1½ to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size. Don't rush this process, the dough needs time to reach its sufficient rise.
- Step 8
When the dough is ready, carefully transfer it to a lightly-floured counter.
- Step 9
Divide the dough into 4 ounce balls, approximately 8 balls.
- Step 10
Work with 1 small dough ball at a time while covering the remaining dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
- Step 11
Flour your hands and lightly press the dough to the surface. Then pick up the edges and fold them toward the center until a ball shape is formed.
- Step 12
Flip the ball seam side down and use 1 hand or both of your hands to drag in small circles until the dough is perfectly round and smooth.
- Step 13
Transfer the shaped dough on a lightly greased 10 inch cast iron skillet, seam side down.
- Step 14
Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- Step 15
Arrange the rolls nicely on the skillet and lightly cover with plastic. Let them rise for an hour or doubled in size (don’t let them rise above the rim of the skillet).
- Step 16
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Egg Wash
- Step 17
Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and milk.
- Step 18
Gently brush dinner rolls with egg wash and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the skillet half way. Dinner rolls should have a deep golden brown crust.
- Step 19
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the skillet for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Step 20
Then remove them from the skillet and put on a clean surface.
Honey Glaze
- Step 21
While rolls are cooling, prepare the honey mixture by combining honey and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Step 22
Lightly brush the rolls with honey mixture and allow to cool completely, approximately one hour, before serving.
