What type of flour?

[jeanne]

Last week I made the plain white rolls, and I used white bread flour. When I finished kneading the mixture was not smooth, but crumbly. I added a little more water and it looked ok, but the end result was not good. Should I rather have used cake flour?

No, you used the right flour.  I suspect something else was the issue - any chance you could post the recipe you used so we can have a look?  When you say not good - in what way?

Jeanne,  sounds like not enough water.   You need to be very accurate with the measurements of water, flour and yeast. Better to have slightly more water than less.   You can more easily add more flour than water. Have another go.  It only cost $1 for 500g of bread flour.  Let us know how you go.
