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. Store-bought rolls can be a minefield for anyone avoiding sesame, since seeds are often used as toppings or hidden in enriched doughs — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The bread machine does the heavy lifting on kneading and the first rise, so you're mostly just shaping and waiting while your kitchen fills with that irresistible yeasty warmth. Each roll gets a generous brush of melted butter straight out of the oven, which gives them that glossy, golden finish and a rich flavor that's hard to beat. They bake up beautifully touching each other in the pan, so the sides stay tender and pull apart in the most satisfying way. Whether you're serving them alongside a weeknight roast or bringing them to a holiday table, these rolls are the kind of thing people reach for seconds of before the main course is even finished.

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.
