Soft, golden, and irresistibly sweet, these Milk and Honey Yeast-Free Brown and Serve Rolls are the ultimate game-changer for homemade bread lovers. Perfect for those who prefer a no-yeast baking approach, this recipe combines the richness of whole milk, the natural sweetness of honey, and the buttery softness that makes each roll melt in your mouth. Ready in under an hour, these make-ahead rolls are partially baked to perfection, allowing you to store them for quick reheating whenever needed. The combination of baking powder and baking soda delivers a tender crumb without the hassle of proofing, making these rolls ideal for busy weeknights, holiday dinners, or spur-of-the-moment gatherings. Serve them warm with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter for an irresistibly comforting side dish everyone will devour.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, honey, melted butter, and egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly thick but cohesive.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup, filling each roughly halfway.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are just set and pale in color. The rolls should not brown at this stage.
Remove the partially baked rolls from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin.
Once cooled, carefully remove the rolls from the tin and store them in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and warmed through.
Serve warm, plain or with a drizzle of honey and butter for added sweetness!
