Description
Buttery Rhodes Rolls infused with aromatic garlic and rosemary, baked to golden perfection in a cast iron skillet. These soft, fluffy rolls are perfect for sharing, featuring a rich buttery flavor complemented by fragrant herbs and a touch of sea salt.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 13-15 frozen unbaked dinner rolls (like Rhodes)
- 1/3 cup Melted butter (approximately)
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Brush olive oil into the bottom and up the sides of a large 12-inch cast iron skillet to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
- Arrange rolls: Place the frozen, unbaked dinner rolls into the skillet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart. Cover the skillet with a tea towel or plastic wrap.
- Let rolls rise: Set the skillet aside in a warm spot for 3-5 hours until the rolls have at least doubled in size, allowing them to fully proof for a light texture.
- Add butter and seasonings: Once risen, generously brush about half of the melted butter over the rolls. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and dried rosemary. Brush the rolls again with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt for added flavor and texture.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Bake the rolls in the cast iron skillet for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm straight from the skillet, allowing guests to pull off their own pieces, or transfer them to a bread basket for sharing.
Notes
- Allow ample rising time for best texture and flavor; rolls should double in size before baking.
- Using a cast iron skillet adds even heat distribution and helps achieve a crispy crust.
- Frozen rolls can be used straight from the freezer without thawing before rising.
- Adjust garlic powder and rosemary quantities based on personal taste preferences.
- Serve warm for the best buttery, aromatic experience.
