Tips:

  • To activate yeast, use warm water (110-115°F). If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and too cold water won't activate it.
  • When measuring flour, spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • To make the dough smooth and elastic, knead it for at least 5 minutes.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  • To shape the rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
