Instant Pot No Knead Dinner Rolls
Description
This recipe leverages the Instant Pot’s warm environment to activate yeast and let the dough rise without traditional kneading. After melting butter into warmed milk and water, sugar and yeast are mixed in and allowed to bubble, indicating fermentation. Flour and salt are then added to form a somewhat elastic dough. The dough rests covered in the Instant Pot for about an hour, rising thoroughly.
Once risen, the dough is portioned into ten balls placed in a baking dish to rise again briefly. Brushing the rolls with a blend of heavy cream and egg yolk before baking imparts a golden, slightly glossy crust. Baking at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes finishes the rolls, delivering a soft interior with a light crust.
These dinner rolls are versatile, soft, and perfect alongside soups, salads, or as sandwich bread. They require no kneading, making them easier to prepare while still yielding a traditional roll texture and appearance.
Care should be taken not to overheat liquids when activating yeast, and preheating the oven properly is important to achieve even browning. Letting yeast activate fully ensures good rise and texture.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter 70g
- 1/2 cup milk 118ml
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups flour 384g
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté and add the milk, water, and butter heating until the butter has completely melted.
- Turn off the Instant Pot and mix in the sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes until the yeast starts to bubble.
- Add the flour and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir and combine. The dough should be somewhat elastic.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and walk away to let the dough rise for about 1 hour.
- Next, roll the dough into 10 balls, place them into a baking dish, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
- Brush the dough with the cream and egg mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 350F / 190C and bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes
- Heat milk, water, and butter gently; do not boil to preserve yeast activity.
- Allow the yeast mixture to rest until bubbles form before adding flour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F before baking for best color and texture.
