   • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Shape the Rolls:

   • Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (about 10–12 pieces).

   • Flatten each portion slightly, place your desired filling in the center, and roll tightly into a log shape.

   • Place each roll on a lined baking tray. Using a sharp knife, make 2–3 shallow slits on top for decoration.

3. Second Rise:

   • Cover the tray loosely with a cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
