Preparation

Step 1

1. For a bread machine with 2-pound capacity, add ingredients to the machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Select the dough cycle. Watch dough carefully during the first kneading. If dough looks too dry and crumbly, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until one smooth ball forms. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine. Punch down. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

2. For dinner rolls, shape the dough into 24 balls. Place balls in prepared baking pan (or shape dough into butterhorns, rosettes, Parker House rolls, or cloverleaf rolls. Place on prepared baking sheets or muffin cups.) Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).

3. Bake in a 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until rolls sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove rolls from pan. Cool on wire racks.

Make-ahead directions: Cover shaped rolls loosely with plastic wrap, leaving room for rolls to rise. Chill 2 to 24 hours. Uncover; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Bake as directed.
