Ingredients
Instructions
- Cool milk to lukewarm.
- Add salt, sugar, oil, yeast, and flour; mix well.
- Turn out into a greased bowl and cover with wax paper; let rise for 1 hour.
- Roll out on a floured board and cut into rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased pan and let rise for 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of skim. If you don't have active dry yeast, you can substitute it with instant yeast, using the same amount. Make sure the milk is not too hot when adding the yeast, as this can kill it. If your dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until it reaches the right consistency.

To store leftover rolls, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if my rolls don’t rise properly?
If your rolls don't rise, it could be due to inactive yeast. Ensure the milk is lukewarm (around 110°F) when mixed with yeast. If they still don’t rise, try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area or using a proofing box to encourage fermentation.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After the first rise, punch it down and refrigerate it overnight. When you're ready to bake, let it come to room temperature and complete the second rise before shaping and baking.
How can I add flavors to the rolls?
To enhance the flavor of your rolls, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. You can also mix in grated cheese or spices for a savory twist. For a sweet version, add cinnamon and sugar or even some chocolate chips for a delightful treat.
