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 nothing that could sneak in a mustard derivative. That matters more than people realize, since store-bought rolls and packaged dough products can contain mustard flour or mustard seed as a hidden leavening aid or flavor enhancer. Here, you control every single ingredient from start to finish. The bread machine handles the kneading and first rise, so by the time you shape the dough into twelve smooth balls and tuck them into a baking dish, the hard work is already done. A final brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives the tops that gorgeous, glossy finish and rich flavor that makes it nearly impossible to eat just one. Serve them alongside a weeknight roast, a holiday spread, or honestly just a bowl of soup — they fit every occasion.

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.
