Texas Roadhouse-Style Soft Honey Rolls

These rolls should pull apart in feathery layers, not crumble like biscuits. The dough is deliberately soft, so resist burying it under extra flour. Let the second rise make them visibly puffy before the pan goes into the oven.

  • 3 cups bread flour

  3. Cover the dough and let it rise for 60 to 75 minutes until doubled.
