Tips: A good way to see if the rolls are cooked is to tap them. If they
sounds hollow, they're ready.
Make sure the water you mix the yeast with is not too warm as this will
kill the yeast. A healthy yeast should "froth".
If you prefer, you can do the second rising in the fridge overnight and cook them in the morning.
