Soft No-Knead Dinner Rolls by Nagi, a frame from the Facebook video

Make this one first.

We put the most-saved version first: Nagi’s. These soft, fluffy dinner rolls require no kneading—just mix, let rise, and bake. The combination of a touch of sugar and a hint of salt gives them a perfectly balanced flavor, and a final brush of melted butter adds a glossy finish.

Soft No-Knead Dinner Rolls

Recipe from Nagi, from their Facebook videoWritten down by ReelsMeals from the caption and voiceover.

  • 25 min
  • Serves 12
  • 9 ingredients
  • Oven

The only one of the 3 with yeast, caster and bread flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbspdry yeast
  • 1/4 cupcaster/superfine sugar
  • 1/2 cupwarm water
  • 4 cupsbread flour
  • 1 1/2 tspsalt
  • 1 cupmilk
  • 50 gunsalted butter
  • 2eggs
  • 1 tbspbutter

How it goes

  1. Combine the dry yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in a medium bowl, add the warm water, and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, the remaining sugar, and the salt.

  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients, then add the lukewarm milk, melted butter, beaten eggs, and the yeast mixture (including all the froth).

  4. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a thick, sticky batter—similar to a thick muffin batter, not pourable.

  5. First rise: Cover the bowl with a clean, damp tea towel and place in a warm spot (about 25 °C / 77 °F) for 1½–2 hours, or until the dough has nearly tripled in volume and the surface is bubbly.

  6. Prepare a 9 × 13‑inch (31.5 × 23.5 cm) baking tray lined with parchment paper that has an overhang.

Then 9 more steps in the full recipe.

How this comparison works.

Every recipe here comes from a creator’s own video. ReelsMeals writes it down from the caption and the voiceover, and publishes it with the creator named and the original linked. When three or more versions of a dish from at least two creators are saved, the dish gets a page like this one. Reposts and the same video saved twice count once.

Times and servings come from the saved recipe cards and may be estimated. Ingredient names are matched loosely, so chicken thighs and chicken legs both count as chicken. We don’t rank them by taste: the version shown first is the one ReelsMeals cooks have saved most. Last updated 11 November 2026.
