Make homemade dinner rolls easily by using your bread machine dough cycle with this great recipe!
This simple method results in soft dinner rolls with very little hands on work thanks to a bit of modern machinery.
Use this bread machine recipe to make feast days or even weeknights a bit easier by letting the machine do the hard work for you.
Simple Ingredients
These bread machine rolls need nothing fancy and like all the best breads that means simple, delicious, and comforting homemade bread.
Flour Choices
For the best results and fluffy rolls, do use bread flour here.
All-purpose flour would result in homemade rolls but they won’t likely have the same softness or fluffiness.
Yeast Choices
I use instant yeast for ease in every bread machine recipe I test. If you wanted to use active dry yeast or bread machine yeast, simply follow your manufacturer’s instructions but I can’t say for certainty in what amount.
Size of Rolls
Once your dough has finished rising in the bread machine, you can make the ball shape any size you desire.
Make smaller or larger size rolls based on your own needs or desire. Simply make sure to divide the dough equally for even baking. Use a kitchen scale to weigh the dough so that you can be sure each weighs the same.
Just be sure to adjust the baking time as necessary depending on the size of the rolls.
How to Serve
Use these in the same way you would use any yeast rolls.
Serve warm bread rolls at holiday dinners or feast celebrations.
They go great alongside soups or salads.
Use them as homemade soft buns for hamburgers or sandwiches.
How to Store
After the baked dinner rolls have cooled, store them in an airtight container where they should stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature.
For longer term storage, place rolls in a freezer bag and freeze. Use frozen rolls up within 6 months for best flavor. Let rolls thaw on the counter prior to serving.

My bread machine recipes are tested on a Welbilt Bread Machine. I bought it at a thrift store for $6.50. It makes great bread but every machine is different. Please follow any specific instructions provided by your bread machine manufacturer if they differ from how this recipe is written.
