Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why don't these rolls need yeast?
These rolls use baking powder as a leavening agent instead of yeast. This makes them quick to prepare since no rising time is needed.
→ How do I know when they're done baking?
Rolls should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean. The bottoms should be lightly browned.
→ Can I make the dough ahead?
Since these use baking powder, they should be baked right after mixing. The baking powder activates when wet ingredients are added.
→ Why are my rolls dense?
Overmixing the dough or using too much flour can make rolls dense. Mix just until combined and use a light touch when forming the rolls.
→ How do I store leftover rolls?
Store in airtight container up to 2 days at room temperature. Reheat briefly before serving for best texture.
