Nutmeg Free Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
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 approachable. The dough comes together with pantry staples — flour, butter, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast — so there's no guesswork about what's actually in them. That matters more than people realize, because many store-bought rolls and bakery versions sneak in spice blends that can include unexpected additions. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. The bread machine handles all the kneading and the first rise, so by the time you're shaping the dough into twelve smooth balls, the hardest work is already done. A final brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives them that glossy, irresistible finish. Whether you're serving them alongside a weeknight roast or a holiday spread, these rolls are the kind of thing people reach for seconds of before the main dish is even finished.

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