Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar; sprinkle yeast over it. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  6. Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces; shape into balls and place on greased baking sheet.
  7. Second Rise: Cover and let rise until puffy (about 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F.
  8. Bake: Bake rolls for about 20 minutes or until golden brown; brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
