Skillet Rolls - buttery rolls baked in a skillet for a fun pull-apart effect. Perfect with a bowl of soup or pasta!
We love these rolls as an appetizer or with a big bowl of Potato Soup or Chicken Alfredo Pasta.
SKILLET ROLLS
Forget plain rolls. Sometimes you just need an easy idea to take the boring out and bring in some flavor. For example, these rolls. Dipped in garlic and Parmesan butter, arranged in a skillet and baked together into a golden pull-apart bread. Serve with a big bowl of soup or creamy pasta for a comfort food filled dinner. Or serve for brunch alongside bacon, sunny side up eggs and fresh fruit. Whenever I have a can of biscuit dough, I want to do more than just pop them out onto a baking sheet and bake. I fill them with cheese, or stuff them and tie into a knot. Dipping them in cheesy garlicky butter is probably my favorite way to jazz them up. So why not arrange them in a skillet and bake into a pull-apart bread?
Ingredients Needed:
- canned biscuit dough
- butter
- garlic
- oregano
- parsley
- Parmesan cheese
How to make Skillet Rolls?
- Cut each biscuit in half. Roll each piece to shape into a ball.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano and dried parsley.
- Dip each ball of dough into butter. Place in cast iron skillet. Repeat with all rolls.
- Bake rolls in a skillet until the tops are golden.
Can I use pizza dough for this recipe?
You can apply this idea to any dough. Store-bought or homemade pizza dough, rolled, dipped and baked them same way will be as delicious. You can even try my drop biscuits recipe but brush them with the flavorful butter just before baking. So good!

I made these twice at camp this summer, no oven, so baked them in a cast iron pan on the BBQ and closed the lid came out great the first time and so so the 2nd..it is hard to regulate the temp on the BBQ we had. But both times everyone thought they were delicious..to prove it they disappeared rather quickly. Thanks for the recipe, now I am going to try them in a real oven.
Ally says
Could I use Pillsbury canned crescent roll dough instead?
Ashley says
What is the serving size?
Cindi says
Plan to try this recipe with a soup I have planned. Think a little mozzarella in the middle would work? Either way I know they will be yummy! Thanks!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Cindi! Absolutely! The more cheese, the better! 😀
Dianne says
I made them with flaky biscuits. My son, who never says anything is good, loved these. Thank you
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says

Maleah says

Meredith says
Can these rolls be made ahead and frozen for use later?
Would like to make for a food gift.
Jackie says
Can i put these in the pan a day early put them in the fridge then bake them
Summer says
Can You leave these in the pan to eat later or do you need to remove them immediately? I would be afraid that the heat of the cast iron would burn them if they sat.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Summer! I leave them in the pan all the time. They never burn. I hope this helps! Let me know if you make these rolls. Thank you! -Anna
Stephanie says
Any idea if they could be made out on a campsite with a lid on the skillet?
Dowon says
Hi, Anna,,
Do I need to cover the skillet with a lid while baking ??
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Dowon! Nope, no need to cover it. Place skillet in the center rack in you oven. The rolls are ready when golden brown on top. Enjoy!
Tina Coulombe says
Made them for dinner They are amazing Will be making them again Thank you!
Casey says
Do you dip the entire ball or just like the top half of it in the butter concoction?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Casey! I dip the entire roll. I will be sharing the video for this recipe in a couple of days. I hope this helps! Enjoy! -Anna
JoAnn says
Can I roll up ahead of time and then bake 4-5 hours later?
Anna says
Hi JoAnn! I do not recommend that since the rolls will dry out and won't bake properly.
R says
Have you made these in anything but a cast iron skillet and if so, did they turn out as well?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi! I think you can use a cake pan or even a pie plate and they should turn out just fine. Let me know if you try it! -Anna
Nicole says
Just finished with dinner and these rolls are AMAZING!!! I drizzled some butter over them a minute or two before taking them out of the oven. Next time I might put some minced garlic and parmesan in the middle of the rolls. Definitely a keeper!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Nicole! That's awesome! Thank you so much for trying the recipe and for letting me know you love it! 😀 Have a beautiful week! -Anna
