Pro Tips for Perfect Soft Rolls:

1. Use Warm Milk: Ensure the milk is around 110°F for optimal yeast activation.
2. Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allow the dough to double in size during both rises for light, airy rolls.
3. Don’t Over-Flour: Add flour gradually to avoid a dense dough.
4. Knead Thoroughly: Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic for the best texture.
5. Brush with Butter: Brushing the rolls with melted butter right after baking adds shine and flavor.
