1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until yeast is activated.

3. Step 3: Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Step 4: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Step 5: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Step 6: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness.

8. Step 8: Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
9. Step 9: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll.
