Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix yeast and warm water until combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your yeast is fresh and actively bubbling before mixing it with water. If you don't have self-rising flour, substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup. For flavored rolls, consider adding herbs or garlic powder to the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After mixing, cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let the dough come to room temperature before pouring it into muffin pans.
What can I do if my rolls don't rise?
If your rolls don't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Always check the expiration date on your yeast. Additionally, ensure your water is warm but not hot, as temperatures above 120°F (49°C) can kill the yeast.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they turn golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped lightly on the bottom. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Baking times can vary, so keep an eye on them starting at the 10-minute mark.
