    What are Garlic herb skillet rolls?

    These easy-to-make skillet rolls are infused with garlic herb seasoning and then baked in a preheated oven. Garlic herb seasoning adds a remarkable flavor and tastes amazing!

    Plus, while the rolls are baking, your house is filled with an intoxicating smell that is downright heavenly!

    And who doesn’t love that smell? At least we do!

    These garlic skillets rolls are a recent favorite in my house, and we enjoy these rolls to the fullest with creamy pasta dishes.

    Just dip the rolls in the sauce and enjoy all the delicious flavors. It’s so good!

    So, with the holiday season just around the corner, I am again planning to make these rolls. A basket full of freshly-baked garlic herb skillet rolls will make a stunning appearance on my dinner table.

    And I am sure; my guests will have a tough time stopping at just one roll!

    Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast!

    So what makes this Garlic Herb Skillet rolls so soft?

    The secret ingredient is- Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast!

    Homemade baking from scratch is always the best – all that mixing, measuring, and pouring – brings pure joy and makes baking worth the effort.

    And with Fleischmann’s 150 years of experience, you can bake quality, yeast recipes you’re proud to share.

    Even I was surprised to see how soft and light these rolls turned out to be. 

    You can find Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast at your local grocery store. 

    Ingredients required to make this Garlic Herb Skillet Rolls!

    You will need only 7 ingredients to make these pull-apart skillet rolls. They are (scroll down for a full printable recipe):

    • All-Purpose Flour – an essential ingredient in baking bread.
    • Sugar – a necessary ingredient to jump-start the yeast. 
    • Salt – for flavor.
    • Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast – the star ingredient. 
    • Milk + water – wet ingredients required to knead the dough.
    • Butter – to brush the freshly-baked pull-apart garlic rolls as well as for the dough too. 
    • Garlic Herb seasoning – I love garlic herb seasoning on my dinner rolls, as this seasoning takes the rolls to a whole new level. But you can use whatever seasoning you have on hand.

    How to make Garlic Herb Skillet Rolls?

    These cast iron garlic skillet rolls are super easy, foolproof, and comes together without much fuss. The only chunk of times goes in, waiting for the dough to rise.

    1. Combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixer bowl.

    2. Stir in Fleischmann’s Yeast®.

    3. Stir until blended.

    4. Combine milk, water, and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.

    5. Microwave on HIGH in 15-second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch. Add lukewarm water (heated to 120˚F-130˚F) and if you are not sure always use a thermometer to check the temperature. 

    6. Butter won’t melt completely.

    Step by step recipe for skillet rolls

    7. Add the milk+water mix to the flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.

    8. Add 1/4 cup flour.

    9. Beat 2 minutes at high speed.

    10. Stir in the remaining flour. Add garlic-herb seasoning and mix.

    11. The dough will form into a ball.

    12. Time to pamper the dough. Transfer the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. 

    13. Transfer the dough to a bowl.

    14. Cover with a towel. As with any other bread, these garlic skillet rolls also need some time alone, therefore, let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

    15. Cut dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls using your hands.

    16. Place in greased 8-inch round or square pan. 

    17. Cover with towel; let rise in a warm place  until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. For pillowy-soft and fluffy dinner rolls, the second rise is an important step.

    18. After the resting time, generously top these rolls with garlic herb seasoning.

    19. Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. These garlic rolls will bake up beautifully in a cast-iron skillet because cast iron retains the heat really well, and you end up with nice crusty rolls.

    20. Brush the freshly-baked rolls with additional melted butter and serve warm.  

    Mmmm, can you smell that! Homemade bread, fresh from the oven..yum!

    Tips on making the best Garlic Herb Skillet rolls – troubleshooting Guide!

    Baking bread is an art, and patience is key! Therefore, to bake the best dinner rolls, follow these guidelines below-

    • The yeast used for this recipe is– Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® yeast. With rapid rise yeast, you don’t need to activate the yeast. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl, add yeast, and begin mixing.
    • The dough did not rise – reason no. 1- Always use fresh yeast. The yeast shouldn’t be expired. That is often the reason for the dough ‘not rising.’
    • The dough did not rise – reason no. 2- The yeast was too hot. Meaning the wet ingredients (water) added to the yeast were hot. Water should be lukewarm and not hot. Otherwise, it will kill the yeast. Please use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water, but if no thermometer, then make sure the water shouldn’t be very hot to touch. 
    • The dough did not rise – reason no. 3- Yeast needs a warmer environment to make the dough rise. A hot, humid temperature is perfect for proofing the dough. But, if your kitchen is on the colder end, then place the dough in a preheated oven. In colder weather, I preheat my oven to 180 degrees F then immediately turn it off. Allow the oven to cool for 3-4 minutes, then place the dough in there. The dough will double in size, guaranteed (if all other parameters are matched correctly).
    • For an easy slide-out – I highly recommend buttering/oiling the cast iron skillet.

    How to Store these dinner Rolls?

    These soft and fluffy garlic dinner rolls stay good for 2 days at room temperature. Cover the skillet with a foil and leave it on the counter.

    After that, transfer the rolls to a plastic bag and store it in the fridge. They stay good for 3 days. But I can guarantee they won’t last that long. At least not in my fridge, we devoured them all.

    Protip – In sweltering warm weather, please store the skillet rolls in the fridge after they have cooled down.

    These Garlic rolls are a perfect make-ahead recipe!

    Hosting a family get-together, then this is your go-to recipe. Bake these cast iron garlic herb skillet rolls in the morning and set them aside.

    When ready to serve, transfer the skillet back into the preheated oven and warm the rolls for 5-10 minutes. Serve and watch them disappear.

    Can I freeze these dinner rolls?

    Yes, you sure can! These pull-apart dinner rolls can be frozen after baking. Once the baked rolls have cooled completely, wrap the skillet with a plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. Stays well for a month.

    When ready to serve, allow the rolls to thaw at room temperature. Bake them again in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until evenly warm.

    I don’t have a cast iron skillet!

    No worries. You can bake these delicious garlic herb dinner rolls in a round baking pan or a round oven-proof casserole dish. 

    What other toppings can I use other than Garlic herb?

    You can swap garlic herb seasoning with – 

    • Rosemary and sea salt topping
    • Italian seasoning
    • Cajun seasoning
    • Sea salt and Chili flakes
    • Or simply leave them as is – Plain!

    What can I serve alongside these garlic pull-apart rolls?

    For the upcoming holidays, you can pair these garlic skillet rolls with- 

    • Instant Pot creamy sweet potato and carrot soup
    • Instant Pot Butternut squash and quinoa soup
    • Mexican corn soup
    • No -cook healthy pasta salad
    • Veggie lasagna roll-ups

    These skillet rolls will be a hit at the dinner table. I promise they will be loved by all, and people will come back for seconds. So consider yourself warned, make a big batch.
