No matter what I do, I just have never had a successful batch of rolls. They burn, they’re flat, they rise too much, they don’t rise enough . . .
I think that part of the problem is that I’m not patient enough. I hate that bread takes all day long and it’s constantly rising and then you knead it down, then let it rise again and then knead it down . . . and on and on and on. I keep busy enough with the kids, let alone tend to my bread dough eight times (okay, okay, I know that I am totally exaggerating . . . but really though . . .).
Somehow, the rolls that I made always end up like hard-as-rocks hockey pucks.
So, I decided to try this recipe that said it required no kneading. It had crazy high reviews and people who had roll problems like me claimed that this recipe was their saving grace.
I am happy to report that it worked!! My rolls were light and fluffy, they were perfectly browned, and my house smelled delicious. I felt like a true domestic goddess when my husband came home to these warm rolls and slow cooker beef stew. Trust me- if I could make these rolls, you could probably make them blindfolded. 🙂

Save RecipeIngredients
- 1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (about 110 degrees). Add remaining ingredients. Beat on low speed for about 3 minutes (the dough will be sticky). Do not knead.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (sometimes I will stick them in my oven- that is not on, of course- and turn on the oven light. It works really well), which takes about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Punch the dough down.
- Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and fill each muffin tin half full with dough. Cover and let rise for about 15-20 minutes (they should almost double in size during that time).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for a minute and then move to a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter and honey.
