Ingredients
- 1 c. water
- 2 Tb. butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 3 1/4 c. bread flour
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. active dry yeast , (or bread machine yeast)
- butter , melted
Preparation
Step 1
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except melted butter in bread machine pan in order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough/Manal cycle. Do not use delay cycle. Using lightly floured hands, remove dough from pan; place on lightly floured surface. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Grease large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Divide dough into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; place 2" apart on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 30-40 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) Heat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover dough; bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter. Serve warm, or cool on cooling rack.
Hint: If you like rolls that are golden brown on top but have soft sides, place the rolls close together on the cookie sheet so they will rise and bake together.
Do-Ahead: After you have shaped the dough into rolls and placed them on the cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap. You can refrigerate them from 4 hours up to 48 hours. Before baking, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Cover with kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place about 2 hours or until double. Bake the rolls as directed.
