If you’re on the hunt for a delightful addition to your dinner table, the No Knead Batter Dinner Rolls are a perfect choice. The rolls are so simple to make, and the result is soft, fluffy goodness that pairs beautifully with any meal.
When making the No Knead Batter Dinner Rolls, consider using instant yeast for a quicker rise, or even whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you’re avoiding eggs, a flaxseed substitute could work wonders too. Always remember to check for allergies, especially with the shortening, as it might contain allergens depending on the brand.

No Knead Batter Dinner Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 4 cups sifted flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle in 2 packages active dry yeast. Let it stand for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
- Stir to dissolve the yeast completely, then add 2 cups of the sifted flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/3 cup softened shortening, and 1 egg. Mix on medium speed of a mixer for about 1 to 2 minutes until smooth.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of sifted flour and mix by hand until combined. The batter will be thick and sticky, but that’s perfectly fine.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot to let the batter rise until it has doubled in size, which should take about 30 minutes.
- While the batter is rising, grease 18 large muffin cups with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Once the batter has risen, stir it gently to deflate it, then spoon it into the greased muffin cups, filling each about halfway full.
- Let the filled muffin cups rise again in a warm place until the batter has reached the tops of the cups, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F, and bake the rolls for 10 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
