 notes
you can apply egg wash mixed in milk since they were eggless i didn't.
I use instant yeast but i always mix it in lukewarm water.
Use lukewarm water to prove your yeast,if the water is hot the yeast will die.
You can add 1 cup wholewheat flour instead but the softness wont be the same.
Each oven varies ,the buns may take around 18 to 25 minutes depending on your oven temperature.
Don't over bake to get brown colour on top else the rolls will turn hard .
Adding milk powder adds fluffiness to the dough you can skip it if you don't wish to add.
These rolls stay soft for 2 to 3 days if kept covered in an air tight container.
You can reheat them in  a microwave or on an oven at 150 degree for 8 to 10 minutes ,without preheating the oven.
If you just want to make butter knots you can simply brush butter and milk instead of the garlic butter.
Add 1/4 tsp salt to the garlic butter,check if the butter is not too salted.

see how soft it is
