These No Yeast Dinner Rolls are a quick and easy alternative to traditional yeast-based rolls, using baking powder as a leavening agent. Made with whole milk Greek yogurt, they have a tender, slightly dense texture with a golden brown crust. Finished with a fragrant garlic butter glaze and a sprinkle of sea salt and parsley, these rolls are perfect for any meal and come together in under an hour without any waiting for rising.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rolls

Ingredients

For The Rolls

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg

For the Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm while you prepare the dough.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients and form dough. Stir in the Greek yogurt using a wooden spoon; the dough will be somewhat lumpy and sticky — avoid overmixing.
  4. Knead the dough gently. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pull it into a ball. Lightly knead to smooth the surface, adding 1-2 tablespoons of flour if it’s too sticky. Press the dough into a thick round disk.
  5. Portion and shape rolls. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball using your hands, working out any cracks.
  6. Prepare for baking. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over each roll to create a shiny, golden crust.
  7. Bake the rolls. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 24-28 minutes. Starting at 20 minutes, check periodically and use a tester roll to ensure the insides are fully cooked. The rolls should have a golden brown top and bottom when done.
  8. Make garlic butter and finish rolls. While the rolls cool for a few minutes, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush this garlic butter mixture over the warm rolls and sprinkle with flakey sea salt and extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to regain softness.
  • Freezing: Cool completely before freezing in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Baking tip: Avoid overbaking to prevent dry rolls; the texture is denser and chewier than traditional rolls.
  • Serving suggestion: Slather a bit of butter inside each roll for extra richness.
  • Measuring flour: Use the spoon-and-level method to avoid adding excess flour and drying out the dough.
