FAQ
- Can I substitute oil for butter in this recipe?
- Yes, you can use oil instead of butter. However, you might need to use close to the full 2 cups of flour if using oil. While butter adds more flavor, oil can result in a slightly higher rise.
- What are the variations I can try with these no yeast rolls?
- You can adjust the sugar to make the rolls sweeter, or replace half the milk with Greek yogurt for a more tender, sourdough biscuit-like texture. Increasing the butter will give the rolls a more biscuit-like consistency.
- Can I use non-dairy milk in this recipe?
- Yes, you can substitute regular milk with any non-dairy milk, such as almond or soy milk. The amount of flour needed may vary slightly depending on the type of milk used.
- How can I achieve a different finish on the rolls?
- For a golden yellow finish, brush the tops with egg wash before baking. For a lighter brown finish, you can skip the egg wash and brush with melted butter after baking.
- How long should I bake the rolls, and at what temperature?
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for about 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Tips
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, ensuring the dough is not too sticky and easy to handle. The exact amount of flour needed may vary based on the type of milk or butter/oil used.
- For a sweeter roll, increase the sugar content and reduce the salt. Experimenting with these ratios can lead to a delightful variation.
- Consider replacing half of the milk with Greek yogurt for a more tender texture similar to a sourdough biscuit. However, note that this may affect the rise of the rolls.
- Enhance the appearance of the rolls by brushing them with egg wash before baking for a golden finish, or apply melted butter after baking for a softer, light brown look.
