****TIPS****

1. To prepare the night before, make rolls up to Step 11, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, pull rolls out of refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Then follow the next steps from Step 12.

2. When placing rolls in the pan to bake, don't worry if all the rolls do not touch each other, they will expand and cover the whole pan.
