4. Shape dough into rolls when cycle is completed (my dough cycle is 2 hrs) and place dough rounds unto a lightly floured cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
5. Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes in warm draft free area (I let mine rise in a slightly warmed oven with the light bulb on).
6. When Dough has doubled in size, uncover and bake@ 350 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown.

A very nice soft, light bun that is full of air. Could easily be used as dinner rolls. Thanks for the recipe!

These worked out very well, and were pretty tasty. They were just a little too soft for me.
