1 cup whole milk (warmed to about 110°F / 43°C)
¼ cup sugar
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

Instructions
Activate the yeast:

First rise:

Shape the rolls:
Punch down the dough and divide into equal portions. Shape into small balls and place them in a baking dish.
Second rise:
Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Cool & enjoy:
Let them cool slightly before serving.
