Notes

Storage, Reheating, and Make Ahead

Leftover rolls keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about eight minutes to restore the exterior texture. The microwave works for speed, though the dough will soften.

For making ahead, assemble the rolls and refrigerate them, covered, for up to 8 hours. Brush with oil and bake just before serving. Freezing after baking is possible, though the texture is best when enjoyed fresh.
