- Let the rolls rise again: Cover rolls and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Prepare the topping: While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 375°F. Mix melted butter and poppy seeds.
- Apply the topping and bake: Brush tops of rolls with butter and poppy seed mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
