- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until just combined. Do not over knead.
- Shape the dough into 8-12 rolls and place them in the prepared pan.

- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
