Rinse out the large bowl, butter or oil it and put the dough back into it, cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough, turn over in bowl and let rise again, covered, until doubled. Punch down. Cut into golf ball sized pieces and put onto buttered pans (16 inch by 14 inch cookie sheets work well). Butter hands well while forming the dough into balls. Let rise until doubled (approximately 1 hour). Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake rolls 15-20 minutes until light brown. (After 10 minutes turn pan 180 degrees F to allow all to brown evenly.)

• Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter. One at a time, flatten each piece of dough, then fold edges toward the center, pressing to secure, until a smooth ball forms. Place dough balls in prepared baking pan, smooth side up (you should have 3 rows of 6). Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
