My answer to this problem is to turn your oven ON and let it get to
"warm", cover your rolls as you usually do, turn the oven OFF, put
them into the oven and let them rise. If your rolls don't cover more
area than the space in your microwave oven, you can put a little
water in a micro-safe container and let it heat up some so it
preheats the oven, remove the container and put your rolls in, shut
the door and they'll rise nicely in there as well. Either of these
solutions works well in drafty, cool kitchens.
Happy rising and baking
