To pray 12 sunnah salah daily
Reward: House in paradise
Umm Habiba reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَلِّي لِلَّهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا غَيْرَ فَرِيضَةٍ إِلَّا بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ إِلَّا بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
There is no Muslim servant who prays for Allah twelve bowings every day in addition to what is obligatory except that Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.
Umm Habiba said:
فَمَا بَرِحْتُ أُصَلِّيهِنَّ بَعْدُ
I have never abandoned praying them after this.

In another narration, the Prophet said:
مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ
Whoever prays twelve additional bowings in a day and night will have a house built for him in Paradise: four before noon prayer and two after it, two after sunset prayer, two after evening prayer, and two before dawn prayer.

Below is a table for easy understanding in shaa Allah.
Sunnah prayers are prayed as you pray regular salah.
But regarding 4 sunnah rakaats before dhuhr, It is permissible;
To pray them with one tashahhud ( just like regular dhuhr salah) or
Two tashahhud and salam , and this method is preferable i.e [to pray them two by two]. To do this, you make two units of prayer, make tashahhud and then salaam, then pray another two units, make tashahhud and then final salam.
May ALLAH accept our ibadah.
