Notes
- Make Ahead: You can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. Allow extra time for the second rise as the dough will be cold.
- Rising Issues: If rolls don’t rise properly, check yeast freshness, liquid temperature, and ensure a warm environment. Use your oven’s proofing setting or create warmth near a preheating oven.
- Freezing: Shape rolls, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in refrigerator and allow to rise before baking.
- Kneading Test: Properly kneaded dough should pass the ‘windowpane test’—stretch a small piece to see light through without tearing.
- Troubleshooting Dense Rolls: Measure flour by weight, ensure adequate kneading and rising time to avoid dense results.
