Garlic Herb Skillet Rolls Pull Apart Garlic Dinner Rolls Ruchiskitchen

Are you looking for a one-pan side dish to go with your dinner menu? Say hello to the incredibly delicious, feather-light Garlic rolls that come together quickly and are a great addition to any meal. Made in a cast-iron skillet, these effortless rolls are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. If you love made-from-scratch bread as much as I do, check my One-hour pull-apart rolls and these dinner rolls.

And who doesn’t love that smell? At least we do! Baking bread is a staple in our home. I don’t know about you, but feasting on freshly-baked rolls coming out of the oven is my utter weakness. Tearing it apart from the batch, the hot steam release, and that smell – it’s pure deliciousness! Making these Garlic herb skillet rolls at home is super easy, although the bread-making process takes a few hours from start to finish. But don’t worry, most of this time is inactive and is required for the dough to rest and rise. So, with the holiday season just around the corner, I plan to bake these rolls again. 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!

Flour – You will need all-purpose flour for this recipe. You can surely try bread flour for much softer, fluffier rolls. Sugar – Yeast feeds on sugar; therefore, it is a necessary ingredient to jump-start the yeast. In addition to that, when mixed with yeast, this mix releases CO2 gas, which pushes the dough up, resulting in soft and light-textured garlic rolls. Salt – for flavor. Use little or more as per taste. Instant Yeast – I have used instant yeast to speed up the process. Active dry yeast works great too. Unlike instant yeast, active dry yeast needs to be bloomed/activated before adding to the flour. Milk + water – wet ingredients required to knead the dough. Use lukewarm warm for the garlic skillet rolls. Not too hot, as it will kill the yeast. The best temperature for water should be between 95°F to 105°F. Butter – You will need butter for the dough and brushing the freshly-baked pull-apart garlic rolls. You can use salted or unsalted butter, but adjust the salt in the recipe if using salted butter. 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.

Combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixer bowl.
Stir in rapid-rise instant yeast.
Stir until blended.
Combine milk, water, and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
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.
Butter won’t melt completely.
Add 1/4 cup flour.
Beat 2 minutes at high speed.
Stir in the remaining flour. Add garlic-herb seasoning and mix.
Time to pamper the dough. Transfer the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a bowl.
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.
Place in greased 8-inch round iron skillet or square pan.
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.
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.

Mmmm, can you smell that! Homemade bread, fresh from the oven..yum! 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. 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. 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. No worries. You can bake these delicious garlic herb dinner rolls in a round baking pan or a round oven-proof casserole dish. 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!
