Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes. Cover and refrigerate the dough overnight after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature before shaping.

Do I need a stand mixer?

No, this dough is easy to knead by hand. Just 8–10 minutes of kneading on a floured surface works well.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Just use a second tray or a larger baking dish and extend baking time slightly if needed.

What’s the best way to freeze them?

Freeze once cooled. Wrap individually or in a freezer bag. Defrost at room temp or reheat in the oven.

Why didn’t my rolls rise well?

Check your yeast is fresh and the rising environment is warm enough. A cold kitchen can slow fermentation.
