Recipe View Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

For an extra touch of flavor, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter after baking.
If you don't have shortening, softened butter works wonderfully as a substitute.
The dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight for a richer flavor. Just bring to room temperature before shaping.
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the dough for a warm, spiced flavor.
