Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly. These rolls are meant to be quick and easy, so don't worry about perfecting the dough; just mix until combined.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. Just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every cup of flour used. This will ensure your rolls rise properly and have the right texture.
How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them after the 15-minute mark to avoid over-baking, as oven times can vary.
Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked dough. Portion it into muffin cups and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, let the dough thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed without stirring.
