Skillet Dinner Rolls
Skillet Dinner Rolls - easiest and best homemade dinner rolls on skillet. Much better than store-bought and takes 60 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 packets active dry yeast total 1/2 oz or 14 g + 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- baking spray
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Directions
-
1
Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in warm water. Heat the milk with the sugar, salt, butter until lukewarm.
-
2
Add the egg to the yeast mixture. Combine the yeast mixture, the milk mixture, and all of the flour. Stir to combine well. Cover the dough and rest for 15 minutes. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
-
3Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

4
On a floured surface, roll out the dough and divide it into 18 balls, about the size of a small tennis ball. Cover and let rise for 25 minutes. Spray the baking spray on a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, arrange the dough balls on the skillet. Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly on the surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the surface of the dinner rolls turn golden brown. Brush with the melted butter and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
For this recipe, you will need about 2 pounds of the dough. You can freeze the remaining 1 pound of dough in the freezer, thaw and use it later, or you can use a bigger skillet and use up all the dough. If the sides of the dinner rolls are turning dark faster than the middle, cover te rolls on the side with aluminum foil and expose the middle part of the dinner rolls. This will help to even it out.
These dinner rolls are fantastic! We couldn’t get enough! I only use salted butter tho and they were great. Turned out exactly as described. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much! These are great! And I should add I got your very helpful cook books and online recipes. Not a single one was in any way disappointing. Thanks so much for the amazing skill and clear instructions.

Do you think they would turn out okay if I substituted plant based butter and oat milk to make dairy free?
Sorry but I am not sure.
Can you use a Soy plain milk for these rolls.
My g@0-daughter has Dairy allergies. I can use her soy butter. But not cows milk
