Quick Skillet Rolls are just right for dinner and don’t need much prep time!
I love my cast iron skillet. Love, love, love. If you’re not cooking with cast iron, it’s time to jump in!
Many recipes for yeast rolls that I find make too many. Well, can you have too many rolls? I just mean, sometimes I just want enough for dinner. Finding a recipe sized down for quick 30-minute rolls was so exciting for me. I don’t make rolls often because I’m really not supposed to have wheat, and these are so good that I can’t stop eating them. This size recipe is perfect for my family and means that, even if I do indulge, I don’t have too many to tempt me!
My cast iron skillet is 12″ across and I got 19 rolls out of this recipe. It’s great for a family meal! Brush the rolls with melted butter when they come out of the oven and they will be absolutely delicious! Try to use the least amount of flour that you can when adding in the remaining flour. You don’t want the dough to be totally dried out. Just make sure that it’s got enough body to it that you can form rolls–your fingers will still get a little messy with dough.
Pair Quick Skillet Rolls with a hearty salad or serve it alongside a special meal!

Description
Quick Skillet Rolls are just right for dinner and don’t need much prep time!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. of warm water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, oil, yeast, and sugar. Whisk together, then set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Use the dough hook on the mixer to begin mixing/kneading the dough. Add in the remaining flour until the dough is in a workable state (not too wet to work with).
- Shape the dough into golf ball sized balls, tucking under to make smooth tops. Place in a cast iron skillet and allow the rolls to rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are a golden brown.
