Golden and Fluffy Rolls
Directions
- 1Add 1 and a half teaspoons of active dry yeast and one teaspoon of sugar to half a cup of warm water.

- 3Combine a quarter cup of milk, a quarter cup of water, and two tablespoons of flour in a pan.
- 4Whisk the mixture on low heat until it forms a paste (Tangzhong).
