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 achievable on a weeknight. The ingredient list is beautifully straightforward — warm water, butter, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast — with zero hidden additives or fillers that so often sneak soy derivatives into store-bought rolls. Your bread machine handles all the heavy lifting through the dough cycle, doing the kneading and first rise while you go about your day. Once the dough is ready, you shape it into twelve smooth rounds, let them puff up until they're crowding each other in the pan, and bake until deeply golden. That final brush of melted butter right out of the oven is the move that takes them from good to genuinely irresistible. If you've ever squinted at a grocery store bread label trying to decode soybean oil or soy lecithin in the fine print, baking your own is the cleanest solution there is. 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)

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.
