Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.

Cover rolls with a towel and let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Brush rolls with beaten egg. Bake 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

7️⃣ Cool & serve

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as sandwich rolls.
