You can definitely refrigerate until the next day, Louise. How long you need to let them sit once you take them out of the fridge prior to baking depends on how risen they are - all the way? Partway? Not so much? That will be your guide. Assume it takes at least an hour for the dough to come to room temp. before it starts rising again. I usually let the rolls rise halfway; refrigerate; then let them sit about 2 hours at room temp. before baking. Try this, and see if it works for you; if not, simply amend the next time. As for the gas bubble - I believe this may be due to the surface of the dough being dry when the rolls are put into the oven. The crust sets quickly, and doesn't let moisture (taking the form of a gas bubble) escape. Make sure your rolls are covered with plastic or something that will keep their surface soft. It doesn't hurt to brush them with butter as they start to rise. Hopefully this will help - good luck! PJH
