Notes
The rolls will rise best and fastest in a warm location. If your house is cool, turn the light on in your oven and let the rolls rise in the oven. Just don't forget and turn it on to preheat while the dough is rising in there!!
Rapid rise or instant yeast will both work in this recipe. Instead of proofing the yeast in the water, if using rapid rise yeast, just add it in with the dry ingredients and then add water (water should still be warm)
