Punch down and shape into rolls. coat with a small amount of oil and place in baking pan. Let rise 1 hour. Bake in 350F Oven for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Note from Marge: I found the recipe in the S. E. Missourian years ago. I started making them and they were so easy, and you can leave the dough in the refridge for days, just take out part of it and bake it at a time if you want to. Also after they're baked you can freeze them then microwave them a few seconds.
