Instructions
- Scald the Milk:
- Heat milk until steaming (not boiling). Remove from heat and let it cool until warm but not hot.
- Activate the Yeast:

- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Roll out dough to ½ inch thick, fold it over, and cut into 2-inch squares.
- Second Rise:
- Place rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
