There’s nothing like the smell of rolls in the oven. But with the kneading, rising and waiting involved, homemade yeast rolls are usually reserved for special occasions and holidays. At my house, homemade yeast rolls became a weeknight specialty when my neighbor shared her delicious recipe for Quick Tarragon Yeast Rolls. A speedy mix in a large bowl and a quick rise in muffin tins are all it takes to bring home baked goodness to your table any time.
The recipe takes advantage of rapid rising yeast, so there’s no need to proof the yeast or let the dough have a lengthy rise. And, the addition of dried tarragon and celery seed make this an absolutely delicious and different dinner roll.
The recipe makes eight to 10 medium rolls, and can be doubled for dinner parties or large family gatherings. I use a medium ice cream scoop to measure the dough into muffin tins which have been sprayed with non-stick spray. Spread with butter, these hot-out-of-the-oven rolls are a pleasing addition to any meal.
