Soft, pillowy dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those things that make any meal feel like a special occasion, and this bread machine method makes them genuinely achievable on a weeknight. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward — warm water, butter, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast — with absolutely nothing derived from legumes hiding in the mix. That matters more than you might think, since store-bought rolls and packaged bread products frequently contain soy flour, soy lecithin, or pea protein as fillers and conditioners. Here, the bread machine handles all the heavy lifting through the dough cycle, so you get perfectly kneaded, beautifully risen dough without breaking a sweat. You shape the balls by hand, let them puff up until they're crowding each other in the pan, and bake until deeply golden. A generous brush of melted butter the moment they come out of the oven gives them that irresistible glossy finish and rich flavor. Serve them straight from the pan and watch them disappear.

Ingredients

12 servings

1 cup warm water (110°f / 43°c)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)

For brushing

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
