Notes
1. For faster rise use an oven proofing setting or a warm draft free spot; Substitute instant yeast by mixing it directly with dry ingredients and reducing first proof time; Use bread flour for slightly chewier rolls; Make ahead by refrigerating shaped rolls overnight then bring to room temperature and bake; Freeze baked rolls and rewarm covered at 300 F
