In reply to Gina. Have you had any other issues with your starter? It just sounds like it needed more time or your starter wasn't very active.

This recipe didn’t work for me. The rolls are incredibly dense, like pretzel. It’s summer and humid. I let the dough “rise” for an extra hour because it wasn’t rising. I can’t serve these to my guests. Bummer.

In reply to Sonya. It probably was more your timing than your altitude because I'm at a high altitude than you. When the buns rise a second time, don't go off of time but looks next time. They should look risen and a bit puffy before they go in the oven, that could take a few hours longer than written depending on your kitchen conditions and starter.

I like the ease of these buns. Mine turned out a little more dense then I thought but that could be because of my altitude or something I did.
I am not a baker and very rarely have successful attempts when trying recipes to use my Amish starter but I keep trying. My altitude is 4751 if anyone can suggest where my error went? I plant on trying them again and froze what I did make. They will handle a sauce slider no problem.

Easy recipe and tastes great! I didn’t read the note about the size of the buns, so I was a little underwhelmed as my 8 “medium” sized buns turned out more like sliders. BUT this might have also had something to do with only letting it rise for 2 hours. Will try again later with only 6 buns and longer prove

In reply to Lucy. Yep, should work great, just give it enough time the next day to perk back up.

I love this recipe! If I were to make the dough in advance, could I cold ferment in the fridge overnight?

In reply to Rachael M. How warm is your house right now?? I bet it just the winter cold, feel free to proof them longer next time.

Mine look and smell really good! Thanks for the recipe:) One question for you. I’d say mine turned out a little more dense than fluffy. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
