Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk warmed (between 120°—130°F)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute everything.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer beat together the milk, melted butter, egg and sugar. Add half the flour mixture on top, and using the hook attachment, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until a smooth batter forms. Add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time until a soft smooth dough ball forms, 4-5 more minutes. It will feel elastic but still slightly sticky.
  • Place dough in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 12 even pieces. Taking one piece at a time, fold the edges into the center, pinch them closed, and then roll the ball in your hands. Place the dough seam side down on a 10-inch cast iron skillet (you don’t need to grease it if it’s seasoned). Repeat with the remaining pieces. Position the dough balls in a circular fashion. Cover the skillet with a plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm area until the dough has doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place in the oven on a middle rack. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and while still hot, brush with melted butter, if desired. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Tip: Make sure the room is on the warmer side for the best rise on your rolls. Yeast is not a fan of the cold and will not rise to its potential in a cold room.
