Pin This RecipeSlow Cooker Dinner Rolls with Rhodes Bread
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 ½ hours from start to finish. This is my new go-to method for making Rhodes Rolls.
How to Make Slow Cooker Dinner Rolls
These rolls are super simple to make. Place some parchment paper in a slow cooker. Add some frozen roll dough. Cover and cook on LOW to let the bread thaw and rise. Once the bread has risen, cook on HIGH until the bread is done. The cooked rolls right out of the slow cooker are not brown on the top. Â They are done, they just don’t look done. Â To remedy that, I stuck the rolls under the broiler for about 90 seconds. Â They had a nice color and tasted great. Â Who knew you could make rolls in the slow cooker?! Â So cool!
- I used a 6-quart slow cooker and baked 9 rolls. Â
- I used Rhodes frozen roll dough in this recipe.
- You will need to adjust the number of rolls depending on the size of your slow cooker. Â
- We like to slather the rolls with some flavored butter:

What to Serve with Dinner Rolls
These rolls go with literally everything! Chicken, pork, beef. They are great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I usually make these rolls for the holidays or cookouts when my oven is full or it is too hot to heat up the house! These rolls make a mean leftover ham or turkey sandwich!

Just made these. What a simple and easy way of making dinner rolls without heating up the kitchen! I found that 9 rolls fit in my 3 qt slow cooker quite well, so a 6 qt would take even more. I also found the bottoms and sides browned, and appreciate the comment about flipping them to brown the tops. I removed them and put them on a baking sheet to brown under the broiler, but the other method is simpler. I never thought of making dinner rolls in a crock pot, but I will certainly be using this method again and again!
