Pioneer Woman Rosemary Dinner Rolls Recipe Ingredients

  • Frozen, unbaked dinner rolls (about 12 rolls)
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) melted butter (regular, salted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (coarsely chopped)
  • Coarse sea salt, to taste

How To Make Pioneer Woman Rosemary Dinner Rolls

  1. Prepare the pan and rise: Spray a small cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Arrange the frozen rolls in the skillet, leaving some space between them. Cover the skillet with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for several hours, until they have doubled in size.
  2. Top with butter and herbs: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the rolls have risen, gently brush them with some of the melted butter. Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the tops, then brush with a little more butter. Finish with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.
  3. Bake until golden: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (or according to the package directions) until the rolls are a deep golden brown on top and cooked through. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

  • How do I get the best rosemary flavor? Using fresh rosemary is key. Its aromatic oils provide a much more vibrant and fragrant flavor than dried rosemary. Coarsely chopping it helps release that flavor.
  • How do I help my rolls rise properly? A warm, draft-free spot is best. You can place the covered skillet in a turned-off oven with the oven light on to create a perfect environment for the dough to rise.
  • What’s the secret to a golden, buttery top? Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking helps the rosemary and salt adhere and gives the rolls a beautiful golden color. An extra brush of butter after they come out of the oven makes them even richer.
  • How do I serve these for the best experience? These rolls are at their absolute best when served warm, straight from the oven, when the butter is melted and the rosemary is most fragrant.

What To Serve With Rosemary Dinner Rolls

These savory, herby rolls are the perfect accompaniment to almost any hearty meal:

  • Roast chicken, turkey, or beef
  • A thick, comforting beef stew
  • Hearty soups like potato or lentil soup
  • A classic steak dinner

How To Store Rosemary Dinner Rolls

Room Temperature: Store leftover rolls in a bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat: To refresh the rolls and make them taste freshly baked, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use a different pan besides a cast-iron skillet?

Yes, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan or a similar-sized baking dish. The cast-iron skillet helps create a wonderfully crispy bottom crust.

Can I use dried rosemary if I don’t have fresh?

You can, but the flavor will be less potent. If using dried, use about 2 teaspoons and crush it between your fingers before sprinkling it on to help release its oils.

How do I know when the rolls have risen enough?

The rolls should be noticeably puffy and have roughly doubled in size. They should be touching each other in the pan. The rising time can vary greatly depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
