- Scrape the dough off the sides of the bowl and pour approximately one tablespoon of vegetable oil all around the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl so it is covered with the oil.

Mouthwatering rolls! Lovely! 🙂 Came here from HBG and I am a big rolls fan so ever ready to try another recipe 🙂 Tks for sharing!One question. Does the omission of shortening affect the rolls? Have not used it before. Have used butter instead in all the recipes so far. Thanks in advance!Shobana
