13. Sprinkle a little more flour onto the dough and knead it up in the bowl for about 15 minutes.
14. Add a little bit of grease to the bowl and flip the dough over so it's fully covered in grease.

16. After an hour, punch down the dough.
17. Divide the dough into individual pieces.
18. Shape the rolls by pushing the top into the bottom, making a smooth top, and then place them in a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan.
