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 the first rise — so you can focus on shaping and letting the dough do its thing. Store-bought rolls can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared production lines and vague labeling make it hard to feel confident about what's actually in the bag. Making them from scratch with this short, straightforward ingredient list means you know exactly what's going into every bite. The dough comes together with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, butter, egg, and yeast, then gets shaped into 12 even rounds that bake up golden and touching in a 9x13 dish. A final brush of melted butter right out of the oven gives them that irresistible glossy finish and rich flavor. Serve them warm alongside a weeknight dinner or a holiday spread and watch them disappear fast.

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.
