Knead the Dough
Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls
Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Shape into balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan.

Second Rise
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.

Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
