Rosemary Herb Butter Rolls - Semi-Homemade

Sometimes the easiest things to make are the biggest hits at the dinner party. This is the second year in a row that I’ve served these rolls at our family’s Christmas dinner and they disappear quickly! The best part though is that they require very little effort. I’d love to know if you make them! Send me a photo, a message, leave a comment here or connect with me on instagram @tammiweed. Happy New Year all!

Level of Difficulty: Incredibly Easy (5 steps 1. Buy frozen rolls, butter and rosemary 2. Thaw rolls 3. Bake rolls 4. Butter rolls 5. Sprinkle rosemary )

Prep Time: 5 mins of actually work for you but the rolls need 3-5 hours to thaw at room temperature.

Cook Time: 10-15 minutes for rolls to bake. Please note that cooking times vary by ovens.

Note: Keep a close watch on the rolls and take them out when they are lightly golden.

What you’ll need:

Step 1: Buy Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls. If you’re in Nashville, you can likely find these at Kroger, Target or Walmart. If you’re on the West Coast, Ralph’s or Target and on the East Coast, Wegman’s, Walmart or any Tops Friendly Market.

Note: Check the store locator before you go for specific locations: Click here. In the event you cannot find Rhodes Dinner rolls, you can also use this method with any frozen thaw and bake rolls or even a loaf of bread dough!

Step 2: Spray pan with cooking spray. Place frozen rolls on pan, and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray to keep it from sticking to rolls while rising. Let rise 3 to 5 hours, until rolls double in size. Actual time depends on temperature of your kitchen.

Step 2a: In the 4th hour, I go rogue on Rhodes directions and remove the plastic wrap. Your rolls will be delectable.

Step 3: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake 12-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Remove rolls from pan at once and place on wire rack to cool.

Step 4: In a small glass bowl, melt butter in microwave or in stove. You can melt the butter or soften, both work. Brush your butter onto the rolls or spoon over.

Step 5: Sprinkle chopped rosemary and/or thyme or your preferred FRESH herb over the rolls.

Serve warm and enjoy. They’ll go quickly!
