Shape and Second Rise
- Flatten the dough and cut it into 25 pieces.
- Roll them into balls and put them in a greased pan.
- Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes. They’ll get bigger.
Bake

- Mix garlic, parsley, and melted butter. Brush it over your rolls.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden.
