Notes

Shaped rolls may be frozen. Arrange folded dough – not touching – on a paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer rolls to freezer bags. When ready to cook, arrange in pan overlapping and brush with melted butter. Cover loosely and let rise at room temperature 1 hour. Bake as directed, adding additional 5-10 minutes.
