INGREDIENTS:

• 1 egg
• 1 cup water
• 3¼ cups plain bread flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

PREPARATIONS:

1. Add the ingredients into the bread machine as per the order of the ingredients listed above, excluding the softened butter.
2. Select the dough setting on your bread machine.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In your quest to create these sumptuous Traditional Dinner Rolls, begin by combining key elements: an egg, water, plain bread flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. However, hold off on the softened butter for now, as its magic will be added at a later stage.
2. Engage the dough setting on your bread machine, entrusting it to weave these components into a harmonious whole. As the machine takes the lead, you can anticipate the transformative power of yeast, working diligently to create a canvas of dough that’s ready for its next phase.
3. As the dough cycle concludes, the dough takes center stage. Transfer it onto a floured surface, allowing it to rest for 10 minutes. During this interval, its flavors deepen, and its texture readies itself for the final crescendo.
4. Divide the dough into 15 equal portions, crafting the rolls that will soon grace your table. Place these balls of dough on a greased baking tray, granting them space to rise and expand. Give them the gift of warmth by letting them rest in a cozy corner for 30 minutes, allowing them to double in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC), summoning the culinary stage for the final act. As the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the rolls within its chamber, and let them bake for approximately 15 minutes. This is the stage where they will attain that inviting honeyed hue, enticing both the eyes and the taste buds.
6. With the baking complete, a simple but transformative act follows. Brush the tops of the rolls with the softened butter, allowing it to melt and impart its richness to the already delightful rolls. Now, these Traditional Dinner Rolls are ready to take their place at your table.
