Hi Carol, The most common reason why bread recipes turn out dense is because too much flour is used. We recommend measuring your flour by weight using a scale, or fluffing and sprinkling your flour gently into a measuring cup. These light cups of flour will create a light and tender interior crumb of the rolls.

As for your comment about slashing, we have a helpful video that shows how to slash a baguette. You can use the same approach when it comes to your rolls. Using a lame is best, and it is important to make deep, quick cuts. Check it out and if you have any further questions, feel free to give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE(2253). Kye@KAF
