Buttery Dinner Rolls (Bread Machine)

These soft and fluffy dinner rolls are full of buttery goodness. From start to finish, they take less than 3 hours to make, with the bread machine doing most of the work. In addition, the dough is a dream to work with. These dinner rolls are incredible on their own with a pat of butter, and amazing wrapped around a piece of leftover ham!

Equipment

  • Bread Machine
  • 9 x 13-inch baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (4 ounces, 113 grams) milk (I used whole milk)
  • ¼ cup (½ stick, 2 ounces, 57 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tablespoons (0.875 ounces, 25 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 cups (10 ounces, 283 grams) bread flour (See Tip 1)
  • 1-¼ teaspoons Instant yeast (See Tip 2)
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter, optional

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine, in the order listed. Process on dough cycle.
  • When the dough cycle finishes, remove it to a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces (about 1.63 ounces each). Form the pieces into smooth balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking sheet.
  • Allow rolls to rise in a warm location until doubled in size and touching each other, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Bake rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven; brush the hot rolls with melted butter. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve.
  • Yield: 12 Buttery Dinner Rolls

Notes

  1. To ensure consistent results, weigh your ingredients, especially the flour. Per this recipe, one cup of flour weighs five ounces.
  2. Instant and bread machine yeast can be used interchangeably. Active dry yeast, however, has to be bloomed before adding it to the other ingredients.
  3. If your oven has a proofing function, use that. Otherwise, turn your electric oven on for 1 minute and 45 seconds. Then turn the oven off. This produces the perfect proofing environment.
