Seed Oil Free Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
Soft, golden 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 clean — just flour, water, egg, sugar, salt, yeast, and real butter — which means no canola, soybean, or vegetable oil hiding anywhere in the dough. That matters more than people realize, since even store-bought rolls marketed as "simple" often sneak in refined oils to extend shelf life. Here, unsalted butter does all the heavy lifting for richness and flavor, and the results are noticeably more tender and satisfying because of it. The bread machine handles the kneading and first rise while you go about your day, so the hands-on effort is minimal. A final brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives the tops that irresistible glossy finish and a little extra richness in every bite. Pull them apart warm and watch them disappear before the rest of dinner even hits the table.

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

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.
