As the clock ticks down, the kitchen fills with the tantalising aroma of freshly baked bread. These 45-minute dinner rolls are the perfect solution for those unexpected guests or a last-minute family meal. With a tender, buttery crust and a light, fluffy interior, they are ready to be enjoyed in less than an hour.

To begin, you'll need some basic ingredients: flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk, and butter. The key lies in the quick rise of the dough, achieved through a blend of warm milk and active yeast, creating an inviting environment for the yeast to work its magic. Within minutes, you’ll find yourself kneading the dough, feeling it transform under your hands.

Once shaped into small rounds, the rolls proof for a brief moment before hitting a hot oven, where they puff up beautifully, turning a perfect golden brown. Serve them warm, perhaps slathered with a touch of butter or accompanied by a bowl of hearty soup, and watch as they disappear from the table in no time. These rolls are not just a side; they're a delightful addition that elevates any meal, proving that good things can indeed come in a hurry.
