Notes

Baking time might vary slightly based on how thin or thick you make your rolls.
I use round molds or mason jar lids for the rolls, and it yields 4 fluffy sandwich rolls. See the comments for how readers have adapted!
Updated 2/2017. I used to add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or palm shortening but don't find it necessary for the texture so it has been removed.
Updated 5/2019: We included instructions on how to make this in a small loaf pan, we use this pan here
