In reply to Lee. Hi Lee, I have a delicious all purpose flour recipe that uses sweet potato for the buns. Give them a try, otherwise you can use the easiest no-knead bread just make them in smaller balls and bake them for a shorter time. Enjoy! Xx

A very good recipe which came out great on my first try!! I appreciated how detailed the instructions were. I will definitely be making these rolls again and checking out more recipes from this site.
Do you have a whole wheat version the recipe or any recommendations on how to tweak the recipe correctly if using whole wheat flour?

In reply to Linda. Hi Linda, Yes, you can absolutely proof the dough on the counter instead of in the oven. The oven method in the recipe is simply a way to speed up the process, but a room temperature rise is actually standard for bread making. To make the 3-hour window work perfectly, use cool or room temperature water (around 70°F) instead of the warm water (110–115°F) the recipe calls for. This slows down the yeast activity so it rises more slowly while you are away.When you get home at 2 PM, you will still need to perform the second rise after shaping the rolls. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Enjoy! Xx

Love these make them all the time
Quick question can I proof them just on the counter and how long would that be I want to make them for Easter dinner but I work until 2 have a break around 11 figured I could do the first part and just leave them until 2 on the counter wondering if that would work instead of the oven
