Notes

🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Rolls Warm the Milk Right: Aim for about 110°F — too hot and you’ll kill the yeast. Don’t Rush the Rise: Each rise is key for light, fluffy texture. Use Room-Temp Ingredients: Cold eggs or butter can slow yeast growth. Make Ahead: Prepare the dough, shape rolls, and refrigerate overnight. Let come to room temp and rise before baking.
