Place all ingredients in bowl of stand mixer or a large bowl. Mix with mixer or by hand until ingredients are mixed. Then, knead by hand or mixer until you have a smooth, soft dough.

It should double in size. Gently deflate the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth roll and place into your USA Pan 9 x 13 " pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap and allow to rise again, for aobut 1 1/2- 2 hours. Rolls should appear very puffy. During this time, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Once rolls have risen, remove plastic wrap and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven. Serve warm, brushed with melted butter, if desired. These rolls keep for several days, just store any leftovers in plastic wrap. ENJOY!!
