Capsaicin Free Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
Soft, pillowy dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that make any meal feel special, and this bread machine method takes most of the effort off your hands. The ingredient list is beautifully straightforward — warm water, butter, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast — with absolutely nothing that could trigger capsaicin sensitivity hiding in the mix. That matters more than it sounds, because even packaged rolls and store-bought breads can sneak in spice blends or seasoning mixes that aren't always obvious on the label. Here, you know exactly what goes in. The bread machine handles the kneading and first rise, so by the time you shape the dough into twelve smooth rounds and tuck them into a baking dish, the hardest work is already done. They bake up golden brown and pull-apart tender, and that final brush of melted butter right out of the oven gives them a glossy, rich finish that's genuinely hard to resist. Serve them alongside soup, a roast, or honestly just on their own — they don't need a single thing to be perfect.

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.
