Butter Rolls

My friend recommended using Japanese bread flour. After lunch at Liang Court I bought this flour from Mediya. This is premium and costs $8 for 1 kg.

I followed the recipe in the pack

I googled for a recipe and saw a YouTube recipe on bread using this flour

I followed the steps but incorporated the ingredients n timing on the pack
