Well I got part of an answer...My question was How long do you let the rolls rise after shaping them into rolls.....1/2 hr., 1 hour, 1 1/2 hrs. etc....??? pick one for me. Baking is as much art as science - the answer depends on the dough you've made in your kitchen, using your ingredients. I know it can be frustrating, but rather than say "I need to let the rolls rise for 1 1/2 hours," think of it this way: "I need to let the rolls rise until they've expanded noticeably, and are about 3/4 of the way to how big I want them to be when they come out of the oven." It might take 30 minutes; it might take 3 hours. Totally depends on the ingredients, the weather, and the "micro-climate" in your kitchen. Relaxation (for you, the baker) is key! :) PJH
