Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Milk | 3/4 cup |
| Butter | 6 tbsp |
| Margarine | 1 tbsp |
| Egg | 1 |
| Bread flour | 3 cups |
| Sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Salt | 1 1/2 tsp |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need milk, butter, margarine, an egg, bread flour, sugar, and salt.
-
Load Bread Machine: Place the ingredients into the bread machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, you’ll add all the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry ingredients.
-
Select Dough Cycle: Set the bread machine to the dough cycle, which usually lasts around 90 minutes. This cycle will knead and rise the dough for you, making the process effortless.
-
Remove Dough: Once the dough cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough onto a floured board.
-
Shape Rolls: Cut the dough into equal-sized pieces. You should have exactly 18 pieces for standard-sized rolls. Alternatively, you can shape the dough into other shapes if you prefer.
-
Grease Muffin Tins: Grease muffin tins with butter or cooking spray. Place each piece of dough into its own muffin cup.
-
Let Rise: Cover the muffin tins with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Place them in a warm, draft-free area to rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size. Pro tip: a damp paper towel sprayed with nonstick cooking spray works great for keeping the rolls moist while they rise.
-
Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Brush with Butter: Once the rolls have doubled in size, gently brush the tops with melted butter. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These tender bread machine rolls are perfect for any occasion, from holiday dinners to weeknight meals.
-
Enjoy: Serve warm with butter or your favorite toppings, and enjoy the deliciousness of homemade bread straight from your bread machine!
