Super Easy Dinner Roll Recipe

Is there anything on earth as comforting as a warm and delicious dinner roll fresh from the oven? Really? I can't think of a thing. And honestly, even if you can, you need to try this dinner roll recipe. It's simple, delicious and oh, so comforting!

For me, dinner rolls are symbolic of a feast at my Gram's house. Whether it be for Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas or even a Fourth of July party, my Gram has always had dinner rolls available for any meal. The problem with Gram's rolls are, they take too long to make! I love them and I dream about them, but I dread making them because of the time consumption. It's pretty much a whole day process.

Hmmm...which is better? An hour here and there or six hours at once? I'll have to think about that. 

But in the meantime, here is a quick, easy dinner roll recipe that takes less than an hour from start to finish and tastes (almost) as good as my Gram's.

Remove the rolls from the oven. Drizzle with melted butter. Return the dinner rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Print this recipe!
