These rolls are light, fluffy and simply delicious. They are by far the best homemade dinner roll recipe I own. Do make these often and store them in freezer bags for future use. They are so easy, they'll become a weekend habit for serving on the weeknights.
1 package of yeast
1/8 cup warm water
1/2 stick butter or margarine warmed to room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
2-3 cups flour
Additional melted butter
Add all ingredients but flour and additional melted butter to bread maker. Start machine cycle on "bread dough" Add 2 1/2 cups flour. Allow machine to mix. Begin adding more flour by heaping tablespoons until bread dough forms a soft, sticky ball. Too much will make a tough bread dough, too little will not allow proper kneading. Once desired dough is achieved. Close lid and allow bread to process.
Take dough out when completed and place in a greased bowl. Top with saran wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
Punch down dough and divide in half. Lightly flour a board and roll out each dough into 10 inch circles. Cut dough like a pizza making 12 equal slices. Roll up like crescent rolls. Place on pan to rise an additonal hour.
Cook at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 min until lightly golden. Spread with additional melted butter before serving.
Freeze unused immediately.
