4. You can make a coffee decoction with icing sugar and drizzle this on the rolls for a mocha flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I use instant dry yeast?

Yes, you can. Make sure they are not too old and are strong enough. This will help hold the dough strong.

2. Can I use non-dairy milk for this?

Yes, you can. I can suggest soy or almond milk.

3. The dough seemed too wet and sticky, how to avoid it?

While mixing the dough with wet ingredients, ensure to pour the milk little at a time.

Stop using more when the dough’s consistency is just right.

Cling wrapped, these rolls can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months and can be re-heated before serving.

5. Can I knead the dough using a stand mixer/hand mix?

However, the only difference when you hand knead is that you will knead for a longer time as opposed to stand mixer.
