If you’re using instant yeast, you don’t need to proof your yeast just start from number 2 of the instruction. To make the rising faster I put the dough in the microwave or warm (not hot) my oven ahead for about a minute before starting the process. Also, you can make these soft rolls with hand just know you’re going to do some cardio exercise…lol
To get the deep golden brown, brush the dough with egg wash before it rises the second time then brush before baking. When you’re measuring make sure it is leveled and measuring cup is US metric you can check US cups conversion to grams for conversion

Grease the mixer bowl with oil and rub some oil over the dough cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and put in a warm place to doubled about 1 hour depending on how warm the place is.

Hi anonymous,
Place a big pot (big enough to contain your baking pan) on a stove and add some garri to cover the bottom of the pot and a little more and allow the garri to get very hot. Hope this helps.
You’re doing a great job, Aliyah. I just want to say thank you. I tried this roll and everyone loved it. I’ve tried most of your recipes and always came out great. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Awesome!
Thank you, Yvonne, for your feedback and your time.
