Herb & Onion Rolls are soft fluffy rolls with a touch of onion and herb flavoring. They go well with just about any meal.
I grew up in family where we always had homemade bread. I was in my teens when I started making bread and it is was one of my favorite thing is to make.
These herb and onion rolls are soft tender rolls that have a hint of onion. They go with almost any meal that you are serving. Homemade bread always make a meal better.
Helpful tips
- Do not over heat the milk. If the milk is too hot it can kill the yeast and your bread will not rise.
- I like to use instant dry yeast since it does not need to be proofed. If using active dry yeast follow the instructions on the package.
- A trick that I learned from my mom is if your house is cool, add some warm water in a sink or a large bowl and set your bowl with the dough in it, this will help the dough rise.
- Don’t rush the process, let the dough rise until double. This will give rolls nice flavor and texture.
- These rolls freeze well. Place in an airtight container or a freezer bag for 3 months.
- When you take the rolls out of the freezer let them thaw on your counter. I like to put them in the microwave to heat them slightly, doing this make them taste like they just came out of the oven.

These rolls look so good – love the herbs and onion.
Fresh bread is the best! The rolls look and sound delicious.
We’ve been baking a ton of our bread lately. In fact it’s been months since we’ve bought any! But we haven’t been doing rolls, and that should change. These would make a great first try. Thanks!
These rolls are easy to make, and they are delicious.
