How to Make Bread Machine Dinner Rolls

Add all ingredients (in the order specified below) to your bread machine pan.
Select the 'dough' cycle on your bread machine.
Once the cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the machine onto a lightly floured surface.
If the dough is too sticky, lightly knead in additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth and easy to handle.
Divide the dough into 12-18 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls in two greased 8x8 inch square baking pans, placing them close together.
Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the risen rolls with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk) or your favorite glaze.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom of the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the rolls from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite meals!
Optional: Shape rolls into cloverleaf, crescent, Parker House rolls, or breadsticks for variety.
