These soft and buttery dinner rolls are perfect for any meal. They are easy to make with a bread machine and have a rich, fluffy texture.
Add the milk, egg, butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt to avoid inhibiting its activity.
Select the dough cycle on the bread machine and let it run until complete.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure it forms a smooth ball; add a tablespoon of water or flour if needed.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Lightly flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Roll the dough into a thick log and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Use a kitchen scale for equal-sized rolls if desired.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Keep the rolls evenly spaced to allow for proper rising.
Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Create a warm environment by briefly preheating the oven to 150°F, then turning it off and placing the rolls inside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Brush the rolls with melted butter for a shiny finish and extra flavor.
