Slow Cooker Rolls

Stephanie Wed, Jan 02 2013

I've been seeing some posts on Pinterest about making bread in the slow cooker. I decided to give it a whirl. Let me tell you, this is GREAT! It is so easy and only takes about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. This is my new go-to method for making Rhodes Rolls.

Let me show you how easy it is.

Place 8 or 9 frozen rolls into a parchment lined slow cooker.

I used a 6 quart slow cooker.

Put the lid on the slow cooker.

Turn the slow cooker on LOW.

Let the rolls thaw and rise for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Turn the slow cooker on HIGH.

Cook the rolls for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I wanted the rolls to be brown on top, so I placed them under the broiler for about 90 seconds.

We served them with some honey butter.

These were absolutely delicious!

Who knew you could bake bread in your slow cooker? So cool!

Wow, thanks Stephanie,
I really enjoy your Plain Chicken blog too. I've got to try these. I love using the Rhodes Texas rolls for PW's rosemary rolls. Really good too.
Thanks!

I love Rhodes rolls, thanks for the tip. And by the way, that is the CUTEST crock pot I have ever seen.

Do you make your own dough and then freeze it or buy it somewhere?

Yummy!! We enjoyed these!
I didn't put them under the broiler as my sons like soft rolls so these were great. Two of the rolls did have hard sides on one half. They must have been wedged too tightly against the side of the slow cooker. I will be trying this again.
