Notes
Check water temperature: Too hot kills yeast, too cold slows it down.
Let the yeast bloom: Leaving the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes should activate it, and the mixture should look puffy.
Don’t skip the rest: The short rest lets gluten relax for softer rolls.
Add flour gradually: Prevents adding too much and making dense rolls.
Use a stand mixer: Saves time and keeps the texture light and airy.
