- Cover with a towel and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze.
- Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
