Rapid Rise Skillet Rolls

Rapid Rise Skillet Rolls are soft, slightly sweet bread rolls made with instant yeast, honey, melted butter, and an egg, which creates a tender crumb. The dough rises quickly in a skillet before baking to golden perfection with a crisp top. These rolls offer a convenient way to enjoy freshly baked bread without lengthy rising times.

Description

Rapid Rise Skillet Rolls combine warm water, instant dry yeast, honey, melted butter, salt, and an egg to form a soft dough. Gradually adding flour results in a dough that pulls away from the bowl sides but stays soft and workable. After shaping into 12 rolls arranged in a skillet, they rise for about 20 minutes until doubled. Baking at 400°F yields golden-brown rolls with a slightly sweet taste from the honey and a tender texture thanks to the butter and egg.

The skillet method allows for even heat distribution, contributing to a nicely browned crust. These rolls work well as a side for meals or for sandwiches, offering a homemade touch without the usual extended preparation time.

The recipe notes mention that if a skillet is unavailable, a 9x13 pan can be substituted, though baking time may be a bit longer. This flexibility makes the recipe accessible for various kitchens.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 cup water 100-110℉, warm
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast, 1 cup warm water, and 1/4 cup honey. Add 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Gradually add 2 1/2 to 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The exact amount of flour you add will vary. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into rolls. Place them in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
  5. Cover the skillet with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes, or until the rolls have doubled in size.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with an additional tablespoon of melted butter right after removing them from the oven.

Notes

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, bake the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch pan and add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
