Hello, I'm Ang and I blog over at Juggling Act Mama. On my blog, I share easy and kid-friendly recipes, crafts and DIY projects, and fun activities for the kiddos.
I'm a book fanatic, social media addict and chocolate lover with two kids, a full time job, and a husband I started dating when I was sixteen!
I love the smell of fresh bread rising and baking in my house - I do not, however, enjoy the process of kneading and fussing with bread. That's why this recipe is genius - it starts with store-bought frozen dough.
No joke. I even use the store brand. Seriously.

I decided that I would use Ree's basic method with the cast iron pan and butter, but that I would swap the rosemary for basil (yum!) and add some garlic. As I was rummaging through my pantry, I came across the Basil Salt I'd made earlier in the Fall and decided to use a bit to really add some flavor.
I'm going to give you the recipe using just straight up basil and kosher salt, but if you make some of the basil salt, you won't be sorry.
Trust me. Ah-ma-zing. Amazing.
Anyhow, back to the rolls - they are so soft and chewy on the inside, and so flavorful on the buttery outside with the basil, garlic and salt. You can't go wrong with this recipe!
Buttered Basil Dinner Rolls
Inspired by The Pioneer Woman
Ingredients:
Frozen, unbaked dinner rolls
Butter
Dried basil, or chopped fresh basil
Kosher salt
Granulated garlic
Instructions:
In a small cast iron pan, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for about ten minutes. Place the unbaked rolls in the pan and brush with more melted butter.
Cover and let them rise until they're about doubled in size. Gently brush on a bit more butter.
What? I didn't say they were healthy dinner rolls.
Sprinkle the rolls generously with the salt, garlic and basil and bake according to the directions on the package until they are golden brown.
Serve hot. With butter.
I hope you'll give these rolls a whirl, and come visit me too!
