7. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
10. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
11. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with additional melted butter while they are still warm. Serve hot.

Variations & Tips
You can try using whole wheat flour or a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a slightly heartier roll. If you have picky eaters who love a bit of sweetness, you could add a tablespoon of honey to the dough for a touch more flavor. For a savory twist, mix in some finely chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough. And for a fun family activity, let the kids help shape the rolls – they’ll love making their own little creations!
