Let dough stand at room temperature 25-30 minutes or until softened. Cut each roll in half. Wrap each portion around a meatball, enclosing meatball completely; pinch dough firmly to seal. Place on greased baking sheet, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake buns 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with olive oil; sprinkle with cheese and basil. Serve with marinara sauce.
