- Brush the cut pieces with butter and fold in half.
- Brush again with butter.

Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier rolls, make sure your yeast is fresh and active; proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before mixing. If you're out of milk, you can substitute with almond or soy milk for a dairy-free version. Adding herbs or garlic powder can enhance the flavor. For a sweeter version, consider adding a bit more sugar or a touch of honey to the dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. You might want to add a bit more liquid to the dough to compensate. Start with a 50-50 mix for best results.
How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a thermometer; they should reach an internal temperature of about 190°F.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast, cold temperatures, or not enough time. Ensure your yeast is fresh and activated in warm water. If the kitchen is cold, find a warm spot, like near an oven, to let the dough rise properly.
