Notes

Bake slightly less for softer rolls or longer for crispier golden tops with firmer texture. Freeze cooled rolls individually inside airtight bags for easier dinners later. Handle dough gently during assembly to maintain fluffy texture. Add parmesan, mozzarella, herbs, or chili flakes for flavor customization. Store covered at room temperature up to three days.
