Answer to Question 1

Two envelopes of yeast were used instead of the one envelope of yeast used for the other recipes. The yeast rolls are also less dense than a loaf of yeast bread, which may impact rising time.

Answer to Question 2

Salt slows the yeast's activity for a steady rise. Without salt the product would have a coarse, crumbly texture with a bland taste because fermentation occurs too quickly. If too much salt is added, fermentation and yeast growth will be retarded, resulting in a dense, low-volume product.
