Estos Panecillos para la cena con 3 ingredientes are super simple small bread loaves with a soft and fluffy dough and a thin crust. They are easy to make sweet or savory with no egg, no dairy, and no oil.
I love simple dinner rolls, like my Panecillos de batata, Pumpkin Bread Rolls o Yogurt Buns but I wanted to make an oil-free, simple version with basic ingredients that you have in your fridge and pantry at all time.

Panecillos para la cena con 3 ingredientes

Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch round baking dish with parchment paper. Slightly oil it with a cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, add the self-rising flour, salt (if used,) yogurt, and almond milk.
- Using the dough hook attachment or a rubber spatula, stir the batter to bring the ingredients together into a dough ball. If you use a rubber spatula, you will have to knead the dough by hand for a few minutes to form a soft dough. The dough is sticky, so you might need to add a little extra flour to work it, or if it's too dry a little more almond milk until the dough comes nicely into a ball.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly oil your hands and roll each portion into a nice smooth ball.
- Place each dinner roll into the prepared pan, leaving some space between them. They will expand a lot in the oven.
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack of the oven until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the roll comes out clean.
- Let the rolls cool down on a wire rack, brush maple syrup on top for a sweet glaze, or melted plant-based butter for a savory option.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
You only need these 3 ingredients to make these rolls:

- Harina con levadura – Acts as the structural base of the dough, with added leavening agents (baking powder) to help the rolls rise. You can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my convertidor sin gluten, pero no olvides el polvo para hornear.
- Leche de almendras – Provides moisture to bind the dough and adjust its consistency. Any plant-based milk, such as soy, oat, or coconut milk, can be substituted based on availability and flavor preference.
- Yogur sin lácteos – Adds richness, a slight tang, and softness to the rolls. Substitute with other plain unsweetened yogurts like almond or oat yogurt. Coconut yogurt works well for a creamy texture.
- Salt (optional) – Enhances flavor, balancing the natural sweetness of the rolls.
- Jarabe de arce – Brushed on top for a light, sweet glaze. For a savory version, use melted vegan butter or a sprinkle of coarse salt instead.
How to Make 3-Ingredient Dinner Rolls
If you like to see how to make recipes with photos, here are pictures of key steps.

Combine the 3 ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Once the texture is right, roll it into a large dough ball and slice it into 8 equal portions.

Roll each portions into a ball of dough and place them in a round pan.

Bake the 3-ingredient dinner rolls for 25-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Consejos de repostería de Carine
I’ve compiled below my tips to make this recipe perfect every single time.
- Use Fresh Self-Rising Flour – Ensure your self-rising flour is fresh to guarantee the rolls rise properly. If making your own, measure baking powder accurately.
- Adjust Dough Consistency – The dough should be soft but not overly sticky. Add a tablespoon of flour or almond milk at a time to adjust as needed.
- Engrasa tus manos – Lightly oil your hands when shaping the dough balls to prevent sticking. This helps create smooth, uniform rolls.
- Space Rolls Evenly – Leave enough space between the rolls in the pan to allow them to expand and bake evenly.
- Agregar ingredientes – Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or herbs on top before baking for added flavor and texture.
- Brush While Warm – For the best glaze, brush maple syrup or melted vegan butter on the rolls while they are still warm.
- Experiment with Sweet or Savory – For sweet rolls, add a tablespoon of sugar or vanilla extract to the dough. For savory rolls, mix in minced garlic or chopped fresh herbs.
- Reheat Before Serving – If stored, warm the rolls in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their softness.
Ideas para servir
Pair the rolls with a vegan soup, like my Sopa de ratatouille, Sopa de patatas vegana, with a hearty meal, like my Frijoles Negros Mexicanos, or for breakfast with Caramelo de dátil. Serve as sliders with plant-based fillings like hummus, avocado, or roasted veggies.
Consejos de almacenamiento
To keep the rolls soft, store them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a sealed bag or container for up to a month. Reheat directly in the oven for a fresh-baked feel.





Can I bake this as a loaf ?
If yes , how long do I bake it and what temperature.
Gracias
Hi. this look delicious.
can I use spelt or whole grain flour ? and do a I have to adjust de recipe?
Muchas gracias
You can always swap flour for white spelt flour, but this recipe use self-rising flour, it means the baking powder is already measured and added to the flour to raise the bread rolls. If you use white spelt, you will need to add 1 1/2 teaspoon baking per cup of flour. Wholegrain will make the bread too dense I wouldn’t use that.
It could work, I am not sure how long it will take to bake since I haven’t tried myself. Usually, if it’s thick it takes easily 15 minutes more, but simply insert a toothpick in the centee of the loaf and stop baking when it come out clean.
Hola,
Thanks for the great recipe!
For those of you that want to try this gluten-free, try to use Bob’s red mill 1 to 1 gluten-free flour. I use it almost exclusively, and sometimes make waffles with it. You would not know my waffles are gluten-free. It’s in a light blue bag with Bob’s red mill in red letters. Try it per the recipe the first time and if it’s too dry, add a little bit more plant milk or whatever you use. I do a lot of experimenting and this recipe seems worth a try. 🙂 good luck
Thanks for sharing your tips on making them gluten-free, I am sure it will help many others.
I have to say I could not be any more excited than I am right now! Finding you is a dream for me! I am so restricted right now with my diet, I can only eat egg whites and no butter, and many more things!!! I have searched all over the internet and it is quite difficult to find recipes with my restrictions!!!
Thank you thank you for sharing your incredible recipes!!!
Thank you so much Charity! I’m super happy you like my recipes
¡Gracias por compartir esta receta!
Hi, would Gluten free flour work for this recipe?
No, I don’t think so, sorry!
This looks and sounds amazing – by any chance do you have any suggestions to make this gluten free ? Maybe a healthy self rising gluten free flour ?
I haven’t tried with my gf flour blend yet, I suspect it might come out very dry and not puffy
Is there a GF flour that the recipe would work with?
I haven’t tried yet!
