FAQ
Q: Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the shaping step, then cover and refrigerate overnight. On the day you plan to serve, remove the rolls from the refrigerator, let them rise until doubled, and bake as directed.
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes, you can substitute part or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, keeping in mind that the texture and rise of the rolls may vary slightly.
