Delicious Garlic & Rosemary Skillet Bread, warm and fluffy and a perfect accompaniment to a savory soup or even a holiday dinner. They start with frozen dough, making it super easy for just about anyone!

Garlic & Rosemary Skillet Bread - So easy to make, no one will know they started as basic frozen dinner rolls!

Yes you read that right, frozen dough. You know I like things easy! And it really doesn’t get easier than this amazing skillet bread. I use my Cast Iron Skillet because I love the way it crisps up the bottom, but you could use any round oven safe pan that you like. But in case you don’t have a cast iron skillet, get one. You can thank me later.

So back to the bread. Like I said, super easy. Just place the frozen balls of dough (I bought a bag of Bridgeford rolls) in a well oiled skillet.

Cover them with a dish towel and let them defrost and rise. Check your package for instructions on this process. Mine required 2 hours of defrosting time and 3 hours of rising time. You want to have at least an inch between them, as they will double in size. I actually probably could have let these rise a little more, but I was getting impatient.

Obviously I could have stuffed a few more in the pan, but 13 was all that I had. It’s ok if they are touching, and it’s ok if they’re not. Once they have risen to double size, brush them with melted butter, sprinkle on rosemary and garlic, and brush with more butter. Because you can never have enough butter.

Slide the pan into a preheated 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

When time is up, pull them out of the oven and, you guessed it, brush them with more melted butter.

Seriously, yum. There is really nothing like fresh, hot, baked baked straight out of the oven. And the beautiful thing about the cast iron is you can serve them right out of the pan!

Bread. It’s what’s for dinner.

Well, and maybe some turkey and green beans too.

Ingredients
  

  • 12-16 frozen unbaked dinner rolls (like Rhodes)
  • Melted butter about 1/3 of a cup
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Add a couple tablespoons of olive oil into a large cast iron skillet.
  • Place frozen, unbaked dinner rolls into the skillet, 1-2 inches apart. Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and set aside to rise (follow the directions on the package for this).
  • Once the rolls have at least doubled in size, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic and rosemary, brush with butter again, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and slide the skillet in for about 15-20 minutes, until rolls are a deep golden brown.
  • Serve in the skillet.

    Does it have to be frozen bread dough? I usually try to make homemade.

      Sure you can use a homemade dough. The secret is in the garlic butter!
