FAQ

Can I freeze Bisquick dinner rolls?

Yes! You can freeze the rolls either before or after baking. To freeze before baking, shape the rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour, then transfer them to a resealable freezer bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw and rise for about an hour before baking. To freeze after baking, let the rolls cool completely, then store them in a resealable freezer bag. Thaw them at room temperature or in the microwave when ready to eat.

How can I make my Bisquick dinner rolls more fluffy?

To make your dinner rolls more fluffy, make sure not to overmix the dough. Also, be careful not to add too much flour, which can make the rolls dense. Finally, make sure the rolls are not crowded on the baking sheet, as this can cause them to cook unevenly and affect their texture.

Can I make Bisquick dinner rolls without milk?

A: Yes! You can use any non-dairy milk, such as almond or soy milk, in place of regular milk. Alternatively, you can use water, but the rolls may not be as tender and flavorful.
