Substitutions

Best Match

Refrigerated Biscuit Dough

1:1

Quick option for similar shape/texture, but chemically leavened.

Puff Pastry Dough

1:1 (by weight/volume)

For flaky applications, not for soft rolls.

Pizza Dough

1:1

Chewier texture, less enriched, but can be adapted for rustic rolls.

Challah Dough (homemade)

1:1

Richer, slightly sweeter, good for special occasion rolls.
