FAQ
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
- Yes! You can make the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Just bring it to room temperature before shaping and baking.
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
- Yes. If using instant yeast, you can skip the proofing step and mix it directly into the flour. Just make sure your milk is still warm (not hot).
What are these best served with?
- Perfect for an appetizer as well as side dish. Served best with Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Short Ribs or Fried Chicken.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
- They should be golden brown on top and sound slightly hollow when tapped. You can also check the internal temp—aim for around 190°F.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
- Store cooled rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best texture, reheat briefly in the oven or microwave.
