Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ:
How long do these rolls stay fresh?
They stay fresh for about 2-3 days at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough after the first rise. Thaw in the fridge overnight before shaping and baking.
What if I don't have a stand mixer?
No problem! You can mix and knead the dough by hand. It might take a bit longer, but it works just as well.
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can. Just skip the step where you let the yeast sit in warm milk and mix it directly with the dry ingredients.
How do I know if the dough has risen enough?
The dough should double in size. You can also poke it lightly; if the indentation stays, it's ready.
