FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the rolls may be denser.

How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls should be golden brown on top. You can also tap the tops; if they sound hollow, they are cooked through.

What can I do if I don’t have fresh garlic?
You can use garlic powder as an alternative. About 1 teaspoon of garlic powder should work well.
