Serving: Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meals.
Storage: Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to restore their softness.
Freezing: Freeze baked rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and warm before serving.
Variants:
Whole Wheat Rolls: Replace half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Garlic Herb Rolls: Mix minced garlic and chopped herbs (like rosemary or parsley) into the melted butter before brushing the rolls.
Cheese Rolls: Add shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) to the dough or sprinkle it on top before baking.
Sweet Rolls: Increase the sugar to 1/2 cup and add a cinnamon-sugar filling for a dessert-style roll.
FAQ:
1. Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes! Use the same amount, but skip the activation step and mix the yeast directly with the dry ingredients.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, prepare the dough and let it rise for the first time. Punch it down, shape into rolls, and refrigerate overnight. Let the rolls come to room temperature and rise before baking.
3. Why didn’t my rolls rise?
Ensure your yeast is fresh and your milk is warm (not hot). Also, allow enough time for the dough to rise in a warm environment.
4. Can I use dairy-free alternatives?
Yes! Substitute milk with almond, soy, or oat milk, and use plant-based butter.
