Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have butter, you can substitute with vegetable oil, but the flavor will be slightly different. To enhance the flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough. If you want a sweeter roll, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After mixing, let it rise for about 30 minutes, then shape the rolls and place them in greased pans. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Allow them to come to room temperature and rise again before baking.
What should I do if my rolls are too dry?
If your rolls turn out dry, it may be due to overbaking or not enough moisture in the dough. To remedy this, brush them with melted butter right after baking to add moisture. Additionally, ensure you accurately measure your flour and liquids next time to achieve the right consistency.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the rolls?
Absolutely! You can fold in shredded cheese or fresh herbs into the dough for added flavor. Just keep in mind that the added ingredients may slightly alter the texture, so adjust the liquid accordingly to maintain the right consistency.
