Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ:

Yes, you can freeze the dough after the first rise. Thaw in the fridge overnight before shaping and baking.

You can use instant yeast. Use the same amount, but skip the step where you let it sit in warm milk.

Adding a bit more butter or using milk with higher fat content can make them softer.
