Make ahead: After shaping the rolls, you can refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Allow to come to room temperature and double in size before baking.
For softer rolls, brush with butter immediately after baking and again before serving.
Always check the temperature of the liquids with an instant read thermometer for accuracy.
