Outback Steakhouse Rolls Recipe

Every time I walk into Outback Steakhouse, there's one thing I can't resist—their famous rolls! Now, you can bring that same magic right to your kitchen with this easy copycat recipe. You'll be surprised at how close these rolls come to the real thing, with their slightly bitter yet semi-sweet taste that pairs perfectly with any main dish. A crucial tip is to allow plenty of time for the dough to rise; it makes all the difference in that soft and fluffy texture.
