Delicious Dinner Rolls

1 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees F)
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
3 1/2 cups flour (bread flour is best but all purpose is fine)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast into milk with the sugar. Mix in salt and butter. Mix in flour in small amounts until the dough comes together in a ball. Dough will be slightly sticky. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 10 minutes.


Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

IF YOU HAVE A BREAD MACHINE: Skip the above steps and put ingredients in according to the machine's directions. Put machine on "dough" setting and walk away!

Punch dough down. Shape into balls and place in greased muffin pan.


Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. If you like, you can spread butter over the top after they come out of the oven.


Makes 12 to 15 rolls.
