Canned Biscuits to Dinner Rolls

I couldn't sleep so after waking up at 4 something I made these from a King Arthur recipe.

Recipe said 16 rolls...

Wow well done! 👍
Ditched the tube? Did you try one?🙂
16 rolls - they must have made a typo 😅
Thank you. I haven't found a KA recipe yet that makes as many as it says... I had 4 lunches and 8 rolls so gave someone a large one and I tried a small one. They were pretty time intensive for the payoff. I think the dough wasn't wet enough for a more rapid rise.

If it's something like this one
Soft White Dinner Rolls
the size of the rolls are pretty small to begin with at around 40g/1.5oz of dough per. They're also into a lot of kneading.

I prefer autolyse and minimal kneading, fold the dough around itself once in a while as it rises and wait for it to take off/get to max yeast activity before shaping. Hydration preference around 65%.

Much as I love KA flour, recipes I've tried haven't worked super well as written tbh - I've tried a few. They often include enhancer ingredients which can be counterproductive I find. An egg actually works best, believe it or not

Most important thing for a good rise IMO is not higher hydration percentage but the flour and a long bulk proof. I let it sit around for a couple or 3 hours. Makes all the diff. 🌱

That's the one. I thought about adding an egg and didn't have enough time. It was a rush.
