Notes

I followed Annalise’s recipe only substituting the blood orange for lemon. I did however make a few time adjustments for high altitude. After warming my milk/honey, it took almost a full 30 minutes for the temperature to come down. Dough has a tendency to rise quickly at higher altitude so keep an eye on your rolls!
