  7. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  8. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Special Notes

These soft, buttery rolls are just like the ones served at Texas Roadhouse. The key is to let the dough rise properly and not overbake them. They're perfect for sopping up gravy or enjoying with honey butter. The warm milk helps activate the yeast and creates a tender texture.
