Notes
Make sure your yeast is fresh. Check the date before you begin.
Use Active Dry Yeast. Yeast is available in a host of different varieties so be sure to check the package.
Be careful not to add too much flour. You don’t have to add all 3 ½ cups of flour especially if you live in a humid climate. Use your judgement. Dough will be sticky, but that is as it should be. Adding too much flour can make the rolls dense.
The dough will be sticky. It really helps to keep your hands sprayed with Pam or greased with Crisco.
