The Fastest Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe!

Who doesn't love a freshly baked homemade roll warm from the oven?

It's amazing that something made up so few of the most basic ingredients, that's so reasonably easy to make can create something so supremely delicious!

These dinner rolls have the best melt-in-your-mouth texture with a light chew, a rich buttery flavor and just a faint hint of background sweetness. They're the perfect side to homemade Vegetable Soup or Minestrone Soup!

I've shared so many soup recipes so of course it only makes sense to have some delicious rolls to serve with them. These rolls also double as great base for sliders or sandwiches (pulled pork, holiday ham and turkey etc), or use leftovers the next day for a breakfast casserole (like French toast or a strata).

These easy dinner rolls are the ultimate upgrade to a cozy, comforting meal especially when slathered with a fair layer of creamy whipped butter or homemade freezer jam.

Easy Homemade Burger Buns

Beautiful golden brown hamburger buns that have delicious fresh flavor, and they make for the best diner-style beef burger out there!

Plus, they have so many other uses too; they aren't just for hamburgers. We love them for chicken salad sandwiches, garlic bread, and cheese toast. They're great for turkey burgers, black bean burgers, pulled pork, or pulled chicken.

Or head in a more creative direction and repurpose leftovers into a French toast casserole, bread pudding, homemade croutons, or try trimming a thin layer off the top and bottom and turn them into a tasty grilled cheese.

This easy-to-make burger bun recipe is likely to become a family favorite! So good people will want to just slather them in butter and eat them like a jumbo roll!

Homemade Fried Bread

This fry bread recipe is a family favorite recipe! It's one of those comfort foods that reminds me of my mom's dinners growing up since we always had these in the rotation and I always looked forward to them.

Some people refer to these as "Indian fry bread" but there's a bit of confusion around this and they are more correctly known as Navajo fry bread since they were a created by Native American's.

These are very quick and easy to make from scratch, and they use ingredients you likely already have on hand. The dough is a breeze to mix up, you only need a shaggy rough dough here. No mixer and no kneading required.

You'll love how fluffy they are, and even though they are made with the simplest of ingredients they have undeniably delicious flavor!

What I recommend is making a double batch because people will be wanting them for the main dish for Navajo tacos and extras for dessert finished with honey butter.

I think everyone will agree they are completely irresistible in every way - especially when they are still warm!

This recipe proves that it's often the simplest ingredients that can yield the best end results.

What is Naan?

Naan is flat-like, yeast leavened, oven baked bread. It originates from Iran and Central Asia. It's a very popular bread in India, where you'll usually find a slightly thicker variation.

Naan can be leavened or un-leavened, the Indian versions are usually leavened. It's common to use torn pieces of naan for scooping and eating food by hand.

Traditionally Indian Naan is cooked in a tandoor oven but not many of us own one of those. So here we make it without a tandoor oven and use a heavy cast iron skillet instead to get a very similar result.

I've tried making naan several different ways using different ingredients like water, buttermilk, milk, or yogurt. I've also tried with and without egg, or with just egg yolk. Then using different fats.

Of course there's also the option to use different types of flour (bread flour, all-purpose flour, or even wheat flour). Then you'll notice some recipes include baking powder.

You’ll also find a variety of mixing methods and dough consistencies.

This recipe is my favorite blend of ingredients for it, with the ratios and method to achieve a super soft, lightly chewy, perfectly fluffy and bubbly naan. It's my idea of the best Naan!

Homemade Dinner Rolls

These are my family's absolute favorite dinner rolls! I've been using this recipe for so many years and I lost count long ago of how many times I've made them.

They are a regular recipe in our rotation, especially for holidays and celebrations. After just one bite you'll see why.

You'll quickly find they are the perfect side to just about any meal and they truly are one of the ultimate comfort foods. Just classic, old-fashioned, homestyle deliciousness. Just like grandma made and using the utmost basic ingredients.

I've yet to meet someone who doesn't love these tempting rolls, and I can practically guarantee they'll become a favorite in your home too!

The stand mixer does most of the work here. If you are new to making rolls, just make these a few times and they'll be super easy-breezy from then on out.

Just be warned these things are completely addictive! Leftovers (if you are lucky enough to have any) are delicious with plain old mayo, mustard, and leftover Thanksgiving turkey (or deli turkey) for lunch the next day.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Easy Sandwich Style White Bread

To me making bread is a total stress reliever. Just taking a moment to set all things aside and just spending a few minutes preparing bread dough, watching it seamlessly rise then enjoying the fresh scent of the hot bread steaming through the oven vents.

As long as we can remember, bread has been at the table and homemade bread just has a way of taking us back home.

My grandparents always made the best homemade bread and I'm hoping to pass that tradition on for my kids and grandkids to enjoy.

And isn't it amazing how much better fresh bread tastes than the packaged stuff at the store (that's filled with unnecessary ingredients)?

Here we just use 6 staple ingredients (and water) and it creates a delicious loaf of bread that will disappear right before your eyes. No one can resist a slice or two!

As a side note, if you are having trouble finding yeast right now and are craving bread you can try Irish Soda Bread or Beer Bread. Or try my Buttermilk Biscuits. No yeast required!

Easy No Knead Bread Recipe

This is easily one of the best loaves of bread I have ever made and it always disappears in no time! You'll instantly fall in love after one bite!

It has a deliciously crisp crust and a soft chewy, moist interior. An artisan style bread made in the comfort of your own home from a dough that's prepped in minutes!

It's pretty miraculous really.

I can't count how many times I've made it. Not only is it unbelievably easy and basically foolproof, but it only requires 3 pantry staples (and water) .

Who doesn't love a good recipe with minimal ingredients? It's also very inexpensive.

Just one of those back pocket staple recipes that you'll quickly find yourself memorizing!

They're super soft and fluffy, perfectly chewy with a hint of gooey, they're jam packed with cinnamon flavor and they're covered in a luscious cream cheese cinnamon roll icing. You'll be hanging onto this recipe for life!

The Best Cinnamon Rolls Recipe!

These cinnamon rolls have the perfect amount of butter (no oil or margarine because why? Butter is always better!) They are unbelievably soft - especially when you eat one warm from the oven. Really these little pillows of deliciousness just melt in your mouth.

They have the perfect amount of sweet between each the dough, the filling and the icing. Then the buttermilk in the dough and the cream cheese in the frosting perfectly compliments the sweetness.

And the abundance of cinnamon is a must. I highly recommend Saigon cinnamon if you can afford it (if you have a Costco membership I buy it cheap there), it really is the best. If you are going to add this much cinnamon to something and it's the main flavor you may as well go for it.

Better than what you'll get from the bakery!

This cinnamon bun breakfast treat really is a dream come true! I've made them time and time again. It's a serious love affair! Trust me you'll love them too!

The Best Gluten Free Bread Recipe

Several months ago, I did the gluten free diet myself for a few months and some of the breads I would buy scared me.

When going gluten free, I think one of the best recipes to have is a good gluten free bread recipe, because it's a staple pantry item and when you have that it makes being gluten free seem a bit easier.

I tried a few recipes for gluten free bread and this is definitely the one I liked most.

My whole family actually loved it, and my husband couldn't get over how good it was. He even said he liked it better than regular white bread, believe it or not. He likes that it has more substance to it.

If you are new to gluten-free bread, yes it does have a different texture, which will quickly grow on you. The taste of this bread is amazing! When you eat a piece warm out of the oven it's so dreamy.
