Steps
- Begin by adding all ingredients into the bread machine, following the manufacturer’s instructions for ingredient placement. Choose the dough cycle setting on your machine.
- Once the dough cycle is finished, decide whether to use the dough immediately or store it. For later use, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- If refrigerated, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for about an hour before proceeding. To shape the rolls, divide the dough into 24 equal sections and roll each piece into a ball with your hands.
- Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet that has been lightly greased. Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rise for approximately 20 minutes until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (approximately 200°C). Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. After baking, brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
