Herbed Rolls Recipes

SEA SALT & HERB SKILLET ROLLS

Steps:

• Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and 1 Tablespoon sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. *If you do not own a stand mixer, you can do this in a large mixing bowl and in the next step, mix the dough together with a large wooden spoon/rubber spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle. A hand mixer works, but the sticky dough repeatedly gets stuck in the beaters. Mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula is a better choice.*
• Add the remaining sugar, egg, 2 Tablespoons butter, salt, rosemary, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and 1 cup flour. With a dough hook or paddle attachment, mix/beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If the dough seems too wet to a point where kneading (next step) would be impossible, beat in more flour 1 Tablespoon at a time until you have a workable dough. Dough should be soft and a little sticky, but still manageable to knead with lightly floured hands.
• Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 3 full minutes or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 3 full minutes.
• Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (I always let it rise on the counter. Takes about 2 hours. For a tiny reduction in rise time, see my answer to Where Should Dough Rise? in my Baking with Yeast Guide.)
• Grease a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet or 9×13 inch baking pan. If using cast iron skillet and it's already seasoned, no need to grease it. You can also bake the rolls on a lined baking sheet.
• When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. (Just eyeball it- doesn't need to be perfect!) Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Arrange in prepared skillet/baking pan or a couple inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
• Cover shaped rolls with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise until puffy, about 45-60 minutes.
• Adjust oven rack to a lower position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). (It's best to bake the rolls towards the bottom of the oven so the tops don't burn.)
• Bake for 23-27 minutes or until golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven, brush warm rolls with remaining melted butter and sprinkle tops with sea salt. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Cover leftover rolls tightly and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

HERBED DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand to proof, about 10 min.
• 2. Into yeast mixture, add milk, eggs, salt, butter, parsley, chives and 4 C. flour; add remaining flour 1/2 C. @ tie until dough comes together. I mix this in my KA stand mixer, use paddle at first and then attach dough hook when dough starts getting stiffer. NOTE: You can use dried herbs instead of fresh, but only use about 1/3 the amount!
• 3. Turn out onto lightly floured board, knead til smooth and elastic (about 10 min.) **I leave it in mixer bowl and let the machine do the kneading** Cover w/damp towel and let rise until doubled, about 35-45 minutes in warm place.
• 4. Grease two 13" x 9" baking pans. Punch down dough, then shape into 18-24 rolls, you can make them any size you want. Arrange rolls in pan, cover again and let rise another 30-45 min. until doubled.
• 5. Preheat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, beat egg white with 2 Tbsp. water; brush over tops of rolls. ***I usually do NOT glaze before baking, instead I will brush rolls w/butter when removed from oven.***
• 6. Bake about 30 minutes, or til golden. Let cool on rack.

HERBED ROLLS

Steps:

• Unroll 1 tube refrigerated spiral dinner rolls or crescent rolls; brush with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped mixed herbs. Reroll and bake as the label directs. Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons each softened butter and chopped herbs; spread on the rolls.

BUTTERY HERBED DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. With a fork, stir in the butter, sugar, salt and egg. With the mixer on low, add the flour and then the herbs. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Lightly butter a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, then cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your house.
• Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Transfer the dough to a work surface and cut into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball. Transfer the dough balls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly (rolls will touch once they have risen). Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Finish the rolls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Very gently brush the rolls with some melted butter and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with more melted butter and serve warm.

HERBED ACCORDION DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, 3 cups flour and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down; place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 14x6-in. rectangle. Combine softened butter and Italian seasoning; spread over dough., Score each rectangle widthwise at 2-in. intervals. Using marks as a guide, fold dough accordion-style back and forth along score lines. Cut folded dough into six 1-in. pieces. Place pieces cut side down in greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Preheat oven to 375°. Uncover pans and let dough stand another 10 minutes before baking. Brush with egg white. Bake until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks.
