Soft Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
The bread machine mixes, kneads, and raises this buttery milk-and-egg dough. Shape it into 15 rolls and bake until soft, tall, and golden.
- Total TimeAbout 3 hours
- Yield15 rolls 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk, lukewarm
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 420 grams, plus more only if needed
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or bread-machine yeast
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Add the milk, egg, and 1/4 cup melted butter to the bread-machine pan. Add the sugar and salt, cover with flour, and place the yeast in a shallow well in the flour. Follow the manufacturer’s order if different.
- Run the dough cycle. After 5 minutes, check for a soft, smooth, slightly tacky ball. Add flour one tablespoon at a time if soupy or milk one teaspoon at a time if stiff.
- Let the cycle complete, including the first rise.
- Grease a 9-by-13-inch dish. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces, shape tight rounds, and arrange them in five rows of three.
- Cover and rise for 35 to 50 minutes, until puffy and touching. Heat the oven to 375°F near the end.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until deep golden and approximately 190°F in the center roll.
- Brush immediately with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cool for 5 minutes before serving or moving to a rack.
Notes
- Ingredient order varies by bread-machine manufacturer; follow the machine manual when it differs.
- Weighing the flour and dough portions gives the most consistent texture and size.
- Judge both rises by visible expansion rather than the clock alone.
- Store airtight for up to three days or freeze for up to two months.
