   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

   Kuharjeva opomba: An oven with just the light on is a great place for dough to rise.

    Slice the log into 12 equal-sized rolls and arrange them cut-side up in a greased 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking dish.
