- Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- Knead until the dough is smooth; this helps develop gluten for fluffy rolls.

FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
Yes, you can replace some or all of the white flour with whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, shape it into rolls, and refrigerate them overnight. Just allow time for them to rise at room temperature before baking.
What if my dough doesn’t rise?
If your dough doesn’t rise, it could be due to inactive yeast or not enough warmth. Make sure your yeast is fresh and try placing the dough in a warm area.
