Want warm, fluffy dinner rolls on the table in a flash? These "Double Quick Dinner Rolls" are your answer! We're using a clever shortcut – instant potatoes and onion – to create incredibly light and flaky rolls with minimal effort. Baking them in muffin tins makes shaping a breeze and ensures they bake up perfectly every time. Trust me, you'll be amazed at how easy (and delicious!) these are.

Ingredients

2.25 teaspoonsactive dry yeast
1 cupwarm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
0.25 cupsdry potato flakes
2 tablespoonswhite sugar
1 teaspoonsalt
1egg
2 tablespoonsvegetable oil
0.75 teaspoonsonion powder
2.25 cupsall-purpose flour

Directions

Okay, here are those Double Quick Dinner Roll instructions, made a little friendlier and easier to follow!
Let's get started by waking up our yeast! In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Give it a gentle stir and let it sit for a minute or two – you should see it start to get a little foamy!
Now for the magic ingredients: Add the potato flakes, sugar, salt, egg, vegetable oil, onion powder, and 1 cup of the flour to the bowl. Grab your trusty spoon or whisk and beat everything together until it's nice and smooth.
Time to add the rest of the flour! Stir in the remaining flour gradually. Keep stirring until the batter is smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything gets evenly mixed. Don't worry if it's a little sticky; that's perfectly fine!
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Find a warm, cozy spot for the dough to rise – a slightly warm oven (turned OFF!) works great. Let it rise until it has doubled in size, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes. This is when the yeast does its thing and makes our rolls light and airy!
While the dough is rising, let's get the oven ready. Preheat it to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). And grab a 12-cup muffin tin and lightly grease each cup. You can use cooking spray or a little butter or oil.
Okay, time to punch down the dough! Don't be shy – just give it a gentle push in the center to release the air. This helps create a more even texture.
Now, spoon the dough into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about half full. We want to leave room for them to rise again!
Let the rolls rise again in the muffin cups until the batter reaches the tops of the cups, about 20 minutes. You'll see them puff up beautifully!
Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them – ovens can vary!
Take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a minute or two before taking them out and serving them immediately. Enjoy your delicious, double-quick dinner rolls! They're best served warm!
