    A delicious dinner roll can be the highlight of any meal. They aren't always the star of the meal, but have you noticed most people appreciate a good roll. Light, fluffy and soft, a roll can set the meal apart from an average supper. Bread Machine Dinner Rolls will do just that.

    These rolls are easy to make with the bread machine doing most of the work. In fact, the best part is adding the ingredients to the bread machine, setting the machine on the dough setting and walking away. After all, a bread machine mixes up the dough, lets it rise and all you have to do is shape the dough and bake it. Wonderful.

    Why use a bread machine

    I use my bread machine a lot. In fact, for the longest time, I didn't have a bread machine because it broke and I didn't want to get a new one. That was mistake. After purchasing a new one, there will forever be a bread machine in my house.

    A bread machine is used often and for so many recipes. Cinnamon Twists, Strawberry Filled Butterhorn Danish and Homemade Cinnamon Bread are just a few a bread machine is used.

    There is a dough setting on a bread machine where you can pull out the mixed up dough and shape and bake it however you want. That is the setting used most often at my house.

    A stand mixer can be used, however the bread machine just makes the process easier. It doesn't need to be "watched". Set the settings and walk away and let the machine do the rest.

    If you would rather not use a bread machine, this Irish Soda Bread is just the bread for you.

    Using the correct flour

    There is a debate about using bread flour or all purpose flour. Bread flour has more protein in it which causes more gluten to be produced. Therefore, the rise is better.

    That said, all purpose flour is what I always use because it is cheaper, to be honest. I can truly say, I don't see a major difference in the two flours and my baked breads and rolls are always delicious and fluffy. So the choice of bread flour verses all purpose flour is up to you.

    Making the dough

    Put all the ingredients, in the order listed, in the bread machine and use the dough setting. That setting will mix the dough, let it rest, and rise.

    Baking the bread machine dinner rolls

    The machine will beep when the dough is done, so you can take the dough out and shape the rolls.

    The pan to use will need to be greased and it is wise to grease your hands as well.

    For starters, take the dough and smooth is over the top to make a round ball of dough. It doesn't have to be perfect, but the more smooth you make the top, the more smooth it will turn out.

    Next, the dough will need to rise. Letting the oven preheat to 375 degrees and having the rolls rise while the oven is preheating typically works well. They can let rise for up to an hour.

    Then bake for 15-20 minutes or until done.

    Leftovers

    If there are any rolls remaining, they can be stored in an airtight container on the counter or in a closable plastic bag.

    These light and fluffy bread machine dinner rolls will become a favorite at your house. They just may be asked for time and time again!

    Equipment

    • 1 Bread Machine

    Ingredients

    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup water + 5 Tablespoons, warmed to 80°
    • ¼ cup oil
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 4 cups flour all purpose or bread flour
    • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast

    Instructions

    • Place all ingredients, in the order listed, in the bread machine.
    • Set the bread machine to dough.
    • After the bread machine is done, remove from machine.
    • Grease a 9x13 pan.
    • Lightly grease your hands and shape the dough into balls.
    • Place on the greased pan.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. While the oven is preheating, let the rolls rise. They can rise 10 minutes up to 1 hour.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until done.
    • Brush with melted butter if desired.

    Notes

    If you have time to let your rolls rise for 1 hour before baking, don't turn your oven on for an hour. Just set them in a warm place, covered for an hour. If you want to have your rolls rise while the oven is preheating, just set them on the stovetop while the oven is preheating. Then bake.
