Tips:

  • Use active dry yeast: This type of yeast is easy to find and works well for overnight rolls. Make sure it's fresh and not expired.
  • Proof the yeast: This step is essential to ensure that the yeast is alive and active. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water (105-115°F) with a little sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Use a large bowl: The dough will rise significantly overnight, so make sure you have a large enough bowl to accommodate it.
  • Cover the dough tightly: This will prevent the dough from drying out while it's rising.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours: This will give the dough time to develop its flavor and texture. You can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours.
  • Bring the dough to room temperature before baking: This will help the dough to rise properly in the oven.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: This will create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
