These fluffy homemade dinner rolls are perfect for any meal, offering a soft and buttery texture that everyone will love.
Place the warm water, unsalted butter, large egg, bread flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast effectively.
Select the dough cycle on the bread machine and start it.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure the consistency is correct; it should form a smooth ball.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to shape.
Grease a large cookie sheet.
Use a pastry brush to evenly spread the grease on the cookie sheet.
Divide the dough into four equal parts, then cut each part into five pieces.
Use a sharp knife or dough scraper for clean cuts.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
Roll the dough gently to avoid deflating it.
Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Place the tray in a warm, draft-free area for optimal rising.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the rolls inside.
Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.
Brushing with butter adds a shiny finish and enhances flavor.
Serve the rolls warm or let them cool on a wire rack.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be reheated if needed.
