I am experimenting with a new recipe. I want to make bread rolls on Sunday morning for Soup Sunday at Church. So I am trying the recipe now to make sure I can do it.

"Proving"... does that mean letting it settle?

Yes you shape them the same as croissants. I have never made croissants though. This is a trail run for Sunday to make sure they are edible and not like rocks. Yes proving means to let them rise on the tray
