Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
Make sure your yeast is active and fresh. If you're not sure, test it before using it.
Proof the yeast in warm milk or water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help to activate the yeast and ensure that it works properly.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to do its work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the rolls light and airy.
When rolling out the dough, make sure to use a light touch. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will help to give them a golden brown crust.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
