Easy Dinner Rolls

If you have been following this blog for awhile you know that a bread maker I am not. But I keep trying! Today I gave this dinner roll recipe a try and I was thrilled with the results. I broke out the old bread machine to make the dough which allowed me to do other things. All I had to do was form the rolls, give them a final rise and then bake them off in the oven. They couldn 't have been easier.

Makes 12-14 large rolls
1 tsp sugar
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water(110-115 degrees)
1 cup warm milk(110-115 degrees)
1/c cup melted butter(1/2 a stick)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp salt
4 cups all purpose flour

In the bottom of your bread machine place the 1 tsp sugar, yeast and warm water. Let the yeast bloom for about 5 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup sugar, egg, flour, melted butter and milk in that order. Turn the machine onto the dough cycle. When the cycle is through. Preheat the oven to 175 and then turn off the oven. Spray a muffin tin with baking spray. Roll out 24 balls of dough. Place 2 balls in each muffin cup. Brush the tops with more melted butter and let rise in the warm oven until double in size. Remove the rolls from the oven and heat it to 350. Return the rolls to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
