Caffeine Free Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
Soft, pillowy dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that never get old, and this bread machine method makes them genuinely foolproof. The dough cycle does all the heavy lifting — kneading and the first rise happen hands-free, so you can walk away and come back to a smooth, ready-to-shape dough. From there, it's just a matter of rolling twelve even balls, letting them puff up until they're touching, and sliding the pan into the oven. A brush of melted butter the moment they come out gives the tops that irresistible glossy, golden finish. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine, so there's no label-reading required — just warm water, flour, butter, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast doing exactly what they're supposed to do. These are the kind of rolls that disappear fast at the dinner table, whether you're pulling them apart alongside a bowl of soup or piling them with whatever's on the menu.

Instructions

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer — typically liquids first. Add the warm water, softened butter, and egg, then add the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the yeast. Select the Dough cycle and press Start.

When the Dough cycle completes (typically 90 minutes, including kneading and the first rise), the dough should be smooth, slightly tacky, and roughly doubled in size. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
