Bob Evan’s Dinner Rolls Recipe Tips
- Thaw Correctly: Thawing rolls all the way through before baking avoids them from baking unevenly and turning hard.
- Butter Brushing: Butter brushing rolls with melted butter upon baking unleashes excess flavor and produces a warm golden glaze.
- Heat the Oven: Warm your oven well ahead of baking for rolls to rise well and bake evenly.
- Customize Flavor: Mix garlic, herbs, or cheese into butter for added flavor.
- Serve Fresh: Warm rolls are ideal to eat; gradually warm up leftovers to regain softness.

Bob Evan’s Dinner Rolls Recipe Faqs
Can I bake frozen rolls? Yes! Bake frozen rolls prior to baking in order to ensure they are cooked evenly and stay soft.
Can I use store-bought dinner rolls instead? Yes, certainly. Store-bought rolls will be just as good, but this recipe with frozen rolls provides a fluffier, homier texture.
How do I store leftover rolls? Keep chilled, cooled rolls in a covered container at room temperature for a maximum of 2 days, or freeze for a maximum of 1 month.
How do I heat the rolls up? Heat at 350°F in the oven for 5–10 minutes, or 20–30 seconds in the microwave to warm through.
Can I add flavor to the butter? Yes! Add garlic, herbs, or a drizzle of honey for added taste before brushing onto the rolls.
Can I make these rolls in advance? Yes, you can shape them in advance, a few hours, and bake shortly before serving for warm, hot rolls.

Hi, I was wondering can you use any frozen rolls or do they have to be ones you do not rise?
