Chive and Sour Cream Skillet Dinner Rolls
Chive and Sour Cream Skillet Dinner Rolls are ultra-soft and fluffy, with a tender crumb enriched by tangy sour cream and a gentle hint of onion and pepper. Flecks of chive perfume each bite, while the olive oil helps create a golden, lightly crisp top. Serve warm alongside soups, holiday roasts, or weeknight dinners when you want an herby, aromatic bread on the table.

In a small bowl, stir together warm milk, a pinch of sugar, and the yeast. Let it sit in a warm spot until the yeast starts to foam, about 5 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, chives, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the yeast mixture, sour cream, olive oil, and eggs, and mix until combined. Gradually mix in another 1 to 1 1/2 cups flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil.
- 4
After the dough has rested, divide it evenly into 14 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them in the skillet. Place 10 rolls around the edge of the pan and 4 in the center; they will fit snugly. Loosely cover the rolls with a greased piece of plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. If you like, brush the tops of the warm rolls with extra olive oil or butter and sprinkle with a few extra chives. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
