tips to make Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls

Make sure the milk is warm but not too hot when you add the yeast. This helps the yeast activate properly.
Knead the dough thoroughly to ensure it becomes smooth and elastic.
If you want to add a touch of flavor, consider mixing in some cinnamon or vanilla extract.
Keep an eye on the rolls while baking to prevent over-browning; every oven is different.
