I just noticed that in the actual recipe for these rolls (not the blog entry), there's a little sidebar that gives a "baker's tip" about using hot tap water and cold milk to make lukewarm liquid. While this sounds like a great idea, people should be aware that consuming water from the hot tap isn't advised, especially if you've got pipes installed before the late 1980s -- hot water can leach out lead from the pipe solder. To be safe, it's almost always best to start with cold water and heat it on the stove instead. Hope you don't mind the PSA, but since I (and probably many of your other readers) bake at home because it's healthier than buying supermarket goods, I'm particularly sensitive to health concerns like this. Thanks for your advice, Heather - PJH
