Notes

- If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little bit more flour.
- If you want soft and fluffy rolls, increase the amount of fat (shortening or margarine).
- To get golden brown dinner rolls, brush them with melted butter before baking.
- Do not over-bake the rolls as it will make them dry and hard.
