This is a very simple dinner roll recipe that everyone can try at home!
I love how soft and moist these buns are. Using tangzhong in the recipe is incredibly makes your bread very soft and light. Have you heard of tangzhong?
Tangzhong is basically a paste of flour and water after boiling over medium low heat.
