Cloverleaf roll

A Cloverleaf roll is an American^[1] type of bread roll consisting of three separate sections.^[2] It is named after the leaf of the clover plant, which has three lobes.^[2] They are made by placing three small balls of dough in the cups of a muffin tin; as the dough proofs and bakes, the cloverleaf pattern is formed.^[2] After baking, they are easily pulled apart.^[3] "Cloverleaf roll" refers to a shape, not a specific recipe: many recipes lend themselves to the cloverleaving process.^[4]
