Author's Comments

I call these rolls Miracle Rolls because they always bake up miraculously light and airy. I usually make the dough the night before and refrigerate it. Then the next day, I punch it down, shape the rolls and let them rise. They're best fresh and warm from the oven.

Can freeze rolls in freezer bags and thaw as needed.
