These are really good rolls! I used bread flour, added the ginger, but didn't need so much flour. I felt the dough was ready at about 7 cups 3 tablespoons. I kneaded the dough quite a lot but have to confess I didn't see any blisters. The rolls rose high, light and very tender. I will definitely make these again, especially when I'm expecting guests. Thank you, Olha, for posting yet another excellent recipe. BTW, I made my rolls rather big. The yield for the batch was: 14 90-gram rolls, 10 65-gram rolls and 1 35-gram roll.
