40- minute homemade rolls!

For those ladies (or gents) wanting to make homemade rolls but don’t like how long it takes, this is your solution!  I tried them the other day and they are awesome!  They were all gone that day.  This recipe yielded 14 large rolls.  If you make them a little larger, you can use them for hamburger buns!  Here is the recipe from “Taste of Home” magazine:
