Chestnut Free Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
Soft, golden, pull-apart dinner rolls are one of those things that feel almost impossible to improve — until you make them yourself and realize the store-bought version never stood a chance. These come together with a short list of pantry staples: flour, butter, egg, sugar, salt, yeast, and warm water. The bread machine does the heavy lifting on kneading and the first rise, so by the time you're shaping dough balls, the hardest part is already done. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of chestnuts and any nut-based ingredients, with no hidden surprises lurking in the list. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives each roll a glossy, rich finish that makes them almost impossible to resist. They bake up pillowy on the inside with a deep golden crust, perfect for mopping up gravy, cradling a slice of turkey, or just eating warm with a little extra butter. Whether it's a weeknight dinner or a holiday spread, these rolls earn a permanent spot on the table.

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer — typically liquids first.
