Once thawed, cut each dough roll in half.

Take each dough half, pinch the ends toward the bottom, and reroll it into a smaller, smooth ball. This process will yield 36 smaller balls of dough from the original 18 rolls.

Let the rolls rise until they have doubled in size and the dough is just expanding over the edge of the muffin slots. This typically takes 60-90 minutes. (Tip: To speed up the rising time, especially in winter, place the muffin tin on a heating pad set to low).
