When disaster strikes or you find yourself in need of a comforting, homemade meal in a flash, having a reliable, simple recipe like this 30-Minute Rolls can be a lifesaver. These rolls require just a few pantry staples and minimal preparation, making them an essential addition to your preparedness arsenal.
Jump to RecipeIngredients:
• 1 cup very warm water, not hot
• 1 Tablespoon yeast (2 Tablespoons for fluffier rolls)
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 cup sweetener (honey, molasses, sugar, etc.)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3 1/2 cups flour (any type you prefer)
Directions:
1. Activate the Yeast: Start by combining the warm water and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix in the Ingredients: Stir in the oil, sweetener, salt, and egg. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly. The dough will be sticky, but that’s okay!
3. Shape the Dough: Oil your hands to prevent the dough from sticking, and shape it into rolls, breadsticks, pizza, or any other shape you’d like.
4. Rest & Rise: Let the dough sit for 10 minutes. Not a minute more, not a minute less – this quick rise is what helps the rolls bake up soft and fluffy.
5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Check to ensure they’re fully baked; you may need to add a few extra minutes depending on your oven.
Note: For pizza, bake dough after toppings have been placed.
Preparedness Tip:
Store ingredients like yeast, flour, and sweeteners in airtight containers for long-term shelf life. This way, you’ll always have the basic ingredients on hand to whip up fresh rolls, even in a pinch. Plus, with minimal prep time and ingredients you likely already have in your pantry, this recipe is a perfect way to make something warm and comforting without needing complex supplies.
Whether it’s a power outage, a camping trip, or just a busy day, this recipe can save you time and effort while ensuring your family enjoys the simple joy of homemade bread. Keep this one on hand for your next emergency preparedness plan!
