Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before using it. If the yeast doesn't foam when combined with warm water and sugar, it's not active and you should discard it and use a new packet.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help the rolls rise properly.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough out into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it. Then, roll the dough up tightly and cut it into 12 rolls.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 25 minutes.
