How to Make Rapid Rise Skillet Yeast Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), and 2 tablespoons honey. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 3-4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour as needed, up to 1 1/2 cups additional, until the dough is no longer sticky and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 12-inch cast iron skillet.
  7. Cover the skillet and let the rolls rise in a warm place (80-90°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until doubled in size. If your kitchen is cool, consider placing the skillet in a slightly warm oven (around 100°F) to speed up rising.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional).
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
