Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole wheat flour instead of wheat flour. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. When shaping the rolls, lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking, or use the margarine as suggested for ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but the rolls may be slightly less chewy. Bread flour contains more protein, which helps create a better texture. If using all-purpose flour, you may need to adjust the liquid slightly for the right dough consistency.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, check the freshness of your yeast; it may be inactive. Ensure the water used is warm but not too hot, as that can kill the yeast. Additionally, try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area to encourage rising.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and shape the rolls, then cover and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This allows them to rise again and results in fresh rolls for breakfast.
