Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure you use active dry yeast. Instant yeast will not work in this recipe.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to double in size quickly.
- Do not overbake the rolls. They should be golden brown, but not burnt.
