Chef’s Secret

For a richer crust and color, brush dough rolls with an egg wash (egg beaten with a splash of milk/water) before baking.

Substitutions

Best Match

Homemade Yeast Dough

1:1

Provides full control over ingredients and fresh flavor, requires more time.

Frozen Bread Dough

1:1

Requires thawing and proofing, similar convenience but less immediate.

Puff Pastry Dough

1:1

For flaky, buttery results, but a very different texture profile than yeast dough.

Biscuit Dough (refrigerated)

1:1

Offers quick, leavened bread, but generally denser and richer, not yeast-risen.
