Cracker Barrel Yeast Rolls Recipe

I can never get enough of the aroma of freshly baked yeast rolls filling my kitchen!
Cracker Barrel's yeast rolls are famed for their slight sweetness and fluffy texture, making them a favorite at any gathering.
You'll want to make sure the dough is kneaded just right to achieve that soft, airy result—don't rush this step!
A another quick tip:
Let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free spot to help them double in size for that perfect fluffiness!
