Instructions

Spray an iron skillet with cooking spray.

Place frozen rolls in the skillet, leaving enough room for the rolls to rise.

Cover skillet with a clean dish towel and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size.

This may take several hours.

After rising, brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped rosemary.

Bake according to the package directions on the rolls (usually 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes), until rolls are a deep golden brown on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Infuse Butter with Rosemary Oil 🧈
Gently warm your butter with fresh rosemary sprigs for 5-10 minutes before brushing to extract maximum flavor and aroma into every roll.
Toast Rosemary for Depth 🌿
Lightly toast fresh rosemary leaves in a dry pan for 30 seconds before chopping to intensify their flavor and reduce any grassy notes.
Brush Rolls Twice for Crispy Edges ✨
Apply rosemary butter once before baking and again immediately after removal from the oven to achieve both a flaky exterior and buttery shine.
Use Coarse Sea Salt as Finishing Touch 🧂
Sprinkle coarse sea salt on the buttered rolls right after the second brush while still warm so it adheres perfectly and adds textural contrast.
Room Temperature Butter Spreads Evenly 🌡️
Allow butter to soften to room temperature before mixing with rosemary so it distributes uniformly without tearing or damaging the delicate roll surfaces.
