Tips & Substitutions
To ensure your Moselle's Rolls are fluffy, make sure the milk mixture is lukewarm before adding the yeast; too hot can kill the yeast. If you’re out of shortening, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. For a sweeter twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. Remember to knead until the dough is elastic, which is key for a good rise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Moselle's Rolls warm, brushed with melted butter for extra flavor. They pair beautifully with Stacie's Rag Doll Salad for a light lunch or with hearty soups and stews. For breakfast, enjoy them with jam or honey, or alongside a slice of Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake for a sweet start to the day.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Moselle's Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or microwave for 15-20 seconds, ensuring they stay soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may result in denser rolls. If using whole wheat, consider mixing it with some all-purpose flour to maintain lightness. Start with half and adjust as needed for texture.
What should I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast or cold temperatures. Ensure your yeast is fresh and that the dough is in a warm place. Try placing it in an oven preheated to the lowest setting for a few minutes, then turned off to create a warm environment.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise, then punch it down and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let it come to room temperature and rise again before shaping and baking.
