30 Minute Dinner Rolls

Dinner rolls are basically my favorite part of any meal.  If dinner rolls get put in front of me during dinner, they will slowly, but surely all disappear! When I originally made this recipe way back in 2017, my pictures really didn’t show off how awesome these rolls were so here I am in 2020 with new and improved pictures that I think do these dinner rolls a bit more justice.

Now this recipe takes between 30-40 minutes and uses just a few simple ingredients which makes them really ideal for the holidays when every recipe needs to be easy-peasy.  I am sure these rolls are going to be a new favorite!
