Notes
- Want to make these even faster? Place them in an oven that's barely 90 degrees (heat it to the lowest temperature if yours won't go that low, then turn the oven off and place it in the oven once you make sure it isn't too hot. Your oven will only take a minute or so to get to 90 degrees! Let it rise in the warm (not hot!) oven for 20 minutes the first rise and 10 the second to have your rolls ready in under an hour!
