    It is a good thing I referred back to the original recipe before making these. Your instructions made no reference to the measuring of flour, which is pretty important in this recipe. The original recipe says to "lightly spoon" flour into cup and level off. That is a pretty big difference from how you normally measure flour– which is scoop the measuring cup into flour and level off. That would give the recipe too much flour and the ratio would be off. Not everyone is a skilled enough baker to even the ratio back out.

      Thank you for pointing out the mistake….
      yes!! as you mentioned ..measuring the flour accurately is very important in this recipe,in order to obtain the perfect results.Too much flour can make the end product tough and dry.

      Hi Wendy!
      Well, as a pro at baking(and I tell people I am modest!) ok, well as someone with quite an experience with baking, I must tell you that for any, I repeat ANY recipe that uses flour, you always, I repeat ALWAYS have to spoon flour and never scoop it with a cup. This is very essential measuring 101 that very few sites mention. But the sites that do mention it, they make sure they emphasize it, like sallysbakingaddiction.com and Martha Stewart never forget to rub that spooning bit in.
      So NEVER scoop your flour unless the recipe asks for it.
      Happy baking!

    Is it possible to use active dry yeast instead of instant? If so, are the amounts used still the same? I do not and never have used instant yeast. Thank you very much!

      Too much flour love. Try to use a spoon to fill your cup of flour next time and level it off with a butter knife. Should work out better if you do such, or only do about 3 cups of flour and use only as much as you need to kneed the dough in the last 4th cup of flour that's what I did. Best of luck 🙂

    This is my favorite bread roll recipe! It's the only one I use. Spooning in the flour into cup is definitely the best way. Dough comes out soft and beautiful to work with although if u allow to rise a little longer it's even more lighter. Thanks for an awesome recipe. Trisha
