What is the quick method for Rhodes rolls? ›

Speed Thaw Method – Use with Caution

Preheat oven to 200°F. Then turn the oven off. Boil 2 quarts water and put in a pan on the lowest rack. Put rolls in the oven and let thaw and rise until double in size.

Try sprinkling herbs over the warmed rolls, or cracking some salt over them. One of our favourite ways to uplift a store-bought dinner roll is to drizzle some olive oil over them for instant Mediterranean flair!

Salt: any rolls or bread would virtually be flavorless without salt! Garlic Salt: is my secret ingredient in both my homemade pizza dough and this dinner roll recipe. It is optional, but I never make this recipe without it. It adds flavor and depth to the rolls.

Place frozen rolls evenly on pan and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray to keep from sticking to rolls while rising. BAKE – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Carefully remove plastic wrap. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Dough will thaw and rise faster if it is in a warm spot in your home. Try putting your pan on top the refrigerator or in direct sunlight. You also might try putting on top a heating pad or in the oven with just the light on.

Did you know that yeast can deactivate, which will stop your bread and rolls from rising? Make sure to check the expiration dates on our packages to help ensure you're buying the products with the freshest yeast. Yeast can also be damaged when it is allowed to thaw and refreeze.

Brush melted butter onto your dinner rolls and add your choice of fresh herbs—I like fresh thyme leaves. Bake until the herbs and rolls are toasted, then sprinkle on some flaky sea salt. Now you have herby rolls that pair wonderfully with that holiday lasagna.

Melted duck fat, chicken schmaltz, and bacon grease can be used to infuse your bread with smokey, savory flavor. Just brush them on like you would butter. Then, when they come out of the oven, give them another brushing.

I recommend using fine sea salt inside the dinner rolls, and I also love sprinkling flaky sea salt on top of the freshly baked and buttered rolls, for even more flavor.

Why do my homemade rolls have no taste? ›

Your bland bread could be the result of rushing the process. Try a slow overnight rise in the refrigerator. Plan ahead to proof your loaf overnight. This hands-off time in the icebox will slow the fermentation process in your dough and result in a complex-flavored loaf.

Butter basting: Rolls can be brushed with butter before, during, or after baking. While it doesn't brown the surface as much as egg wash will, it does promote browning and adds a lot of flavor.

Spray your pan with cooking spray. Place frozen dough on your pan. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap to keep from sticking to dough while rising. Place your pan in the refrigerator overnight or all day long.

Rhodes Bake-N- Serv Dinner Rolls

Though they do require a bit more patience than the other rolls (the dough isn't par-baked so they need 3 to 5 hours to thaw and rise), I promise it's worth it. Once fully baked, these dinner rolls are reminiscent of the ones you might find in a bread basket of your favorite steakhouse.

Wet a few paper towels and then wring out so that they're damp, but not soaked. Cover the rolls with the paper towel, making sure that the tops are completely covered. Microwave for a minute at a time, checking after each minute to ensure that the rolls are defrosting, not cooking.

Set the bowl of dough in the microwave and shut the door.

Leave the glass of water in the microwave with the dough. The glass of water and the heat from the microwave will create a warm, moist environment that will help the dough rise faster.

Frozen doughs can be immediately baked (without undergoing thawing) or they can be proofed prior to baking (a thawing cycle is required to temper dough).
