Momma-style Bread Machine Rolls

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz water
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp powdered milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 320 g all-purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp fast rising yeast

*Additional ingredients: I brush the tops of my baked rolls with butter once out of the oven. Should be about 1 tablespoon of butter, if that. I also sometimes lightly sprinkle flaked Maldon salt on top of my freshly buttered rolls.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Add all the ingredients EXCEPT for the flour and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order listed.
• Add in the all-purpose flour.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and add in your yeast.
• Once bread machine pan is locked in place, set the bread machine setting to DOUGH.
• Once the bread machine completes its dough cycle, remove the dough from the bread machine pan onto a lightly floured surface.
• Divide dough into half, then cut each half into thirds, before cutting each third into halves for a dozen large rolls.
• Roll each piece into a ball and place onto a greased 9×13 baking pan.
• Place the rolls in a warm place (*see notes) to rise for about an hour (until doubled in size).
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Brush the tops of the freshly baked rolls with butter (and sprinkle tops with flaked Maldon salt, if desired).

NOTES

For my warm place, I heat my own for only 1 minute at 350 degrees (just enough to warm the space), turn off the oven, turn on the oven light, and let my rolls rest in the closed oven for the required hour.
