Homemade, buttery rolls can be yours in under an hour thanks to a quick-rising dough! Baking these rolls in a cast iron skillet gives them a crunchy exterior and pillow-soft interior. Brushing the dough with a lightly beaten egg ensures a shiny finish, and helps adhere the topping to the bread. The rolls are then topped with an addictive mix of chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, parsley, lemon zest, and grated Parmesan cheese for savory, delicious bread to go alongside roast chicken or grilled steak. For extra flavor, serve with salted, softened butter that's been mixed with more chopped herbs and lemon zest.

Mealthy Tip

Gluten-free flour blends have come a long way in recent years, and it can sometimes be hard to tell the difference with regular all-purpose flour! Use your favorite blend, such as Bob's Red Mill or Cup4Cup, to make these delicious rolls gluten-free.

Jessica Scott says:

These cast iron rolls are amazing! I made three batches for a party, each skillet with a different flavor. I can't choose just one, I loved the lemon-thyme, rosemary pepper and lemon flavors. They were super easy to make as well! I can't wait to whip these up again soon.

Laura Griffin says:

I made these skillet rolls and used just the parmesan cheese mixture. They were really easy to make! This is the perfect recipe if you want to make a dozen rolls. They're so delicious!

Alex Cabral says:

I used sea salt with rosemary, basil, and parsley for these cast iron rolls. I also refrigerated the dough overnight after it had risen, a tip that my mother taught me. All you have to do it put the dough in a bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. This makes it super convenient to prepare the night before. It worked out wonderfully!

Dominique M says:

These were perfect! I can't pick just one flavor that I liked the most. They're are great for entertaining too, I love having options. Also, I didn't add the sugar!

McKenzie C says:

These cast iron rolls were perfect! I skipped the herbs and opted for garlic instead. I also used the gluten free flour, as recommended, and they turned out great. I plan to make another batch for Easter!

Megan Strohschein says:

Followed the recipe as printed and was very happy with the results. Used all three toppings and liked them all. From start to finish took just over an hour and the rolls were delicious. Great recipe.
