Hi Brian, we're sorry to hear that you're having trouble witht his recipe! If you're not getting much rise or oven spring I would consider reducing or eliminating the time the rolls spend in the refrigerator and perhaps extending the bulk rise in the bowl, if necessary. Because this recipe contains such a small amount of yeast, your dough temperature is going to make a big difference in how quickly the dough progresses, but a nice long rise at room temperature may allow you to guage the progress of the rolls more successfully, and allow for more oven spring at the end. Because this recipe also contains a preferment, I think you'll still get plenty of flavor, even if you omit the refrigeration step. For more help troubleshooting this recipe, please don't hesitate to give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-2253. We're here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST.
