Notes
- Don't let the rolls start to rise before you cut them in half, they should be just thawed.
- Enjoy this delicious great warm, I think that is the way it is best enjoyed!
- If you prefer to make your own homemade dough, form your rolls into 1.3 oz. balls after the first rise and then cut them in half and continue with recipe as written.
