   • In the bread machine pan, add all the ingredients in the order listed, starting from water through yeast.
   • Make sure to follow your bread machine manufacturer’s recommendations for the order.

2. Bread Setting:

   • Select the “Basic Bread” setting on your bread machine. 🥖
   • After about 5 minutes of mixing, check the dough consistency. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour to adjust.

3. Shaping Dinner Rolls:

   • For those delicious dinner rolls, mix the dough in the bread machine using the “Dough” option.
   • Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking pan, preferably a metal pan for even baking.

4. Rolling Time:

   • When the dough is ready, divide it into 15 uniformly sized balls.
   • Pro tip: Grease your hands with shortening to smooth out the dough and prevent drying.

5. Rise and Shine:

   • Cover the rolls and let them rise in a warm, draft-free spot until they’ve doubled in size.
   • This usually takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on your room temperature and yeast activity.

6. Baking the Rolls:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the risen rolls in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

7. Finishing Touches:

   • Once done, remove the rolls from the oven.
   • Brush the tops generously with melted butter for that extra richness and shine. 🌟

8. Cooling and Storing:

   • Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
   • Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy these Country White Bread slices with your favorite sandwich fixings.
• Serve the dinner rolls warm with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of sea salt for an irresistible appetizer or side dish.

Tips & Tricks:

• To ensure a perfect rise, make sure your water is warm but not too hot, around 110°F (43°C).
• Don’t skip the butter brushing step after baking—it adds a delicious, glossy finish to your rolls.
• These rolls freeze beautifully! Simply cool them completely, then store in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through.
