Critical Success Points

  • Blooming the yeast properly for a good rise.
  • Kneading the dough until smooth and elastic.
  • Proofing the rolls before baking for fluffiness.
  • Baking at the correct temperature and checking doneness.
  • Cooling before icing to prevent melting.

Safety Warnings

  • Do not use hot milk for yeast; it will kill the yeast.
  • Careful when using dental floss or knives to cut rolls.
  • Oven and baking tins will be hot; use oven mitts.
