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 dough comes together with pantry staples — flour, butter, egg, sugar, and yeast — so you know exactly what's going into every single roll. That matters a lot when you're navigating tree nut allergies, since store-bought rolls and bakery items can carry real cross-contact risks that are hard to verify. Here, the ingredient list is short, straightforward, and completely free of any nut-based oils, flours, or add-ins. The bread machine handles the kneading and first rise, and then you shape the dough into twelve even balls and let them puff up until they're touching in the pan — that's the secret to that classic pull-apart texture. A brush of melted butter right out of the oven gives the tops a gorgeous golden sheen and a rich, slightly salty finish. Serve them alongside a weeknight dinner or a holiday spread and watch them disappear before anything else on the table.

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.
