1. Can I Store No-Yeast Dinner Rolls for Later?

Yes! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want them to last longer, refrigerate for up to a week.

2. How Do I Keep Them Soft for Days?

Wrap them in foil or store them in a sealed plastic bag to keep them from drying out. You can also microwave them for 10-15 seconds to refresh their softness.

3. Can I Freeze the Dough or Baked Rolls?

Absolutely! Here’s how: For unbaked dough: Shape into rolls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw before baking. For baked rolls: Let them cool completely, wrap in foil, and freeze. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.

4. Can I Make These Rolls Dairy-Free?

Yes! Use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk, and replace butter with olive oil or dairy-free margarine.

5. What If I Don’t Have Baking Powder?

You can use ½ tsp baking soda + 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute for 1 tbsp of baking powder.

6. Can I Add Eggs to Make the Rolls Fluffier?

Yes, adding one egg to the dough makes it softer and richer, but it’s optional!
