Soft, pillowy dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those things that make any meal feel like a special occasion, and this recipe delivers exactly that with minimal hands-on effort. The bread machine does all the heavy lifting — mixing, kneading, and handling the first rise — so you can focus on shaping and baking. With a short ingredient list built around pantry staples like all-purpose flour, butter, egg, and yeast, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden nut ingredients or worry about cross-contact from specialty add-ins. The rolls bake up golden brown and pull-apart tender, then get a generous brush of melted butter straight out of the oven for that glossy, irresistible finish. They're the kind of rolls that disappear fast at the dinner table, so you might want to double the batch.

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.
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.
