FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of flour?
It’s best to stick to gluten-free all-purpose flour to maintain the texture and consistency. Avoid regular flour as it contains gluten.

2. How can I make these rolls dairy-free?
These rolls are already dairy-free! Just ensure that any optional toppings are dairy-free as well.

3. What can I do if my dough didn’t rise?
If your dough didn’t rise, the yeast may have been inactive. Make sure to use fresh yeast and ensure the water temperature was warm enough to activate it.
