Serves 8
Directions

- 8Cover the dough in an oiled bowl and place it in a warm area to rise for an hour.
- 9After rising, place the dough on a floured surface.
- 10Cut the dough into desired roll sizes (about 8 rolls).
- 11Take each piece of dough, pull and tuck to the bottom, then roll it on the surface to give it a round shape.

Tips
- The paste made of water, milk, and flour helps the rolls to be more fluffy, moist, and stay softer and fresher longer.
- If you don't use instant yeast, you'll have to let your dough rise longer.
- Baking time depends on your oven.
- Brush the rolls with butter while they are hot.
- Next time, I'll definitely be trying some honey butter.
