Ingredients
Units
Scale
Herb Butter
- 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks), plus more for greasing
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
Rolls
- 20 frozen dinner rolls (thaw, rise, and bake)
- Flaky salt, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Herb Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter along with crushed rosemary, oregano, thyme, and minced garlic until the butter is fully melted and the herbs are fragrant. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
- Coat Rolls: Roll each frozen dinner roll individually in the herb butter, ensuring they are well coated, and place them in the prepared baking dish spaced about 1½ inches apart to allow for expansion.
- Let Rolls Rise: Leave the rolls to rise at room temperature for 4 to 5 hours or until they have doubled in size, allowing the dough to become light and fluffy.
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) in preparation for baking the rolls.
- Bake Rolls: Bake the risen rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color on top.
- Brush with Butter and Season: Remove the rolls from the oven and melt any remaining butter either in the microwave or over low heat. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the warm rolls with this melted butter and sprinkle them with flaky salt for extra flavor.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm to enjoy their fresh, buttery, and herby aroma and taste at their best.
Notes
- Ensure the rolls are spaced adequately for rising to prevent them from sticking together.
- Rising time can vary slightly depending on room temperature; warmer rooms will speed up the rise.
- Use high-quality flaky salt to enhance the texture and flavor on top.
- This recipe uses frozen dinner rolls, which must be thawed and risen before baking for best results.
- Butter can be salted or unsalted based on preference, but if unsalted is used, consider adding a pinch of salt to the herb butter.
