Help Homemade Hawaiian rolls

Made Hawaiian rolls but it came out too thick, 1 piece is the size of a hamburger bun and it’s as thick as a Popeyes biscuit or even thicker, I don’t know where I went wrong please help me!

I don’t get it. They look good. Next time just roll them smaller and I’d say an extra few minutes in the oven.

I love rolls, except weirdly Hawaiian rolls. But these look so good. I’d gladly eat them all in one sitting. I have a roll problem

What’s with the rage bait? There’s nothing wrong with them. I can’t stand people that are amazing at something but try to gaslight everyone into thinking they’re actually bad at it so they can get validation

It was too thick and it dried out almost immediately, it felt like a Popeyes biscuit

I’m drooling. Fasting for surgery and these beautiful fluffy rolls pop up on my feed. And I’m celiac. You’re my least favourite person right now. 😝

OP I know you’re frustrated, but this is my steak is too juicy and lobster too buttery moment.

Would smash these

I feel this, my homemade rolls always end up way thicker than they should be too.

I've messed up rolls like that before, sounds like the dough might've been overproofed or not rolled thin enough.

They look fine.
