Nothing beats the smell of homemade sandwich rolls baking in the oven.
These hearty homemade sandwich rolls are becoming a staple for my family! We are loving them for any kind of sandwich, but they work the best for homemade sloppy joes and hamburgers.


- 3 tablespoons warm milk
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soften butter
- In a large bowl, combine milk, water, yeast and sugar.
- Let sit until yeast is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
- Add egg and mix until combined.
- Add bread flour, all-purpose flour, butter, and salt and mix well.
- Knead dough until slightly tacky, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size.
- Divide dough into 8 small dough balls.
- Place each dough ball on a greases cookie sheet and press down each ball slightly.
- Let the sheet of dough balls sit until doubled.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Thanks for stopping by!

They look delicious! Hope y’all had a scrumptious Thanksgiving!
When do you add the softened butter ?
Jessica thank you SO much for catching that! You add the butter when you add the flour.
Thank you. These were such a big hit in my house. Going to bake some more for our Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes dinner tonight
Can you use regular flour rather than bread flour? My 86 yr old Mother talks about homemade buns her Mother made during depression yrs. Would not have had bread flour in rural Louisiana then.
Debra I have only ever used bread flour in this recipe. I am not sure they would rise enough using regular flour.
I use All Purpose flour in this recipe all the time and it works just fine. I do add a touch more yeast (about another 1/2 tsp) and I always get light, fluffy rolls!
Thank you!! I will try this.
I am sure that the homemade bread helps make the sandwich taste so yummy.
