Special Tips or Information:
-Mix in a bread machine: add wet, then dry, set the the dough cycle for the 1st rise. Read your own model's instructions.
-Mix in a Kitchen Aid stand mixer: with a dough hook.
-Rising in the winter: heat oven on lowest temp, turn off and let rise inside the oven. Some stoves may even have a "bread proof" setting or dedicated warming drawer options.

-Use Bread Flour VS All Purpose Flour for a more tender roll.
-Rising time and amount of flour needed varies from each season, due to humidity and ambient temperatures.
-For a more golden color, brush tops melted butter before baking.
-Cook time depends on the pan type: dark pans cook faster, glass pans cook hotter, aluminum pans cook even and perfect.

Additional Comments:
-Freeze Baked Rolls: reheat in foil at 325° until hot. -Ready to Bake: Make the dough ahead, let rise 1 time, roll into balls, brush tops with butter, cover and refrigerate (40°) over night, or freeze. Pull out, let rise again until doubled, then bake. Will take longer to rise when the dough is cold.
-Mini Sandwiches: Day old bread is best for party sandwiches.
