The Best bread machine rolls recipe

I’m so excited to share this bread machine rolls recipe with you all. I’ve been making these for years, and they’re always a hit with my family. There’s something about the combination of the soft, fluffy interior and the crispy, golden exterior that just can’t be beat. And the best part is, they’re incredibly easy to make – just toss all the ingredients into your bread machine and let it do the work for you.

I love serving these rolls at family gatherings and holidays because they’re just so impressive, but also super convenient to make. Plus, they freeze beautifully, so you can make a big batch and then just pull out a few as needed. I’ve even started making them on a weekly basis just because they’re so delicious and versatile. One of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s really adaptable to whatever occasion or meal you’re planning.

Need some fresh rolls for a weeknight dinner? Done! Want to impress your friends with a show-stopping holiday spread? These rolls are the perfect choice.

And as an added bonus, they’re actually pretty healthy – no refined sugars or artificial preservatives here! Just wholesome ingredients and good old-fashioned baking magic. My kids absolutely love helping me mix up the dough – it’s one of their favorite tasks in the kitchen (and mine too, if I’m being honest!) And when we finally get to take those first bites…

well, let’s just say it’s pure bliss. The perfect blend of texture and flavor that just makes everything feel cozy and special. My family loves when I serve these rolls with a big ol’ bowl of homemade soup – there’s just something about dipping into that warm, comforting goodness that makes everyone feel happy and content.

🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup warm milk (110°F)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 1/2 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

For the Topping

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Flaky sea salt (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Add the warm milk, softened butter, and beaten egg to the bread machine pan.
2Then add the bread flour, sugar, and salt, making a small well in the flour for the yeast.
3Pour the yeast into the well.
4Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and press start.
5The machine will mix, knead, and let the dough rise for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, until it is smooth and doubled in size.
6When the dough cycle finishes, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
7Gently punch it down to release the air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball.
8Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, until they are puffy and nearly doubled.
10Preheat the oven to 375°F.
11Brush the risen rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
12Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
13Remove from the oven and transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly.
14Serve warm or at room temperature, brushing with additional melted butter if desired.

📝Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute buttermilk for the milk. If your bread machine has a rapid cycle, you can use it, but the rolls will be slightly less fluffy. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
