Cinnamon 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 refreshingly straightforward — warm water, butter, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast — with absolutely no spice blends or flavoring agents that might sneak in unwanted cinnamon. That matters more than you'd think, since many store-bought rolls and packaged dough products include surprise seasonings that can be hard to spot on a label. Here, you know exactly what's going in, start to finish. The bread machine handles the kneading and first rise, so by the time you're shaping the dough into twelve smooth little balls, the hardest work is already done. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives the tops a gorgeous, glossy finish and a rich flavor that needs nothing else. These are the kind of rolls that disappear fast, so consider doubling the batch.

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

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.
