Tips

  • Use lukewarm water for best results.
  • If using salted butter, reduce salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
  • Quick-rise yeast can be used; dough will rise faster.
  • To make rolls extra smooth, pull outer edges up and towards the center, pinch edges together, and turn seam-side down.
  • Rolls can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen before or after baking.
  • For golden fluffy rolls, use an egg wash before baking
