Sweet Dinner Rolls

I discovered these rolls a few years ago on Allrecipes.com. They had 5 stars and over 500 reviews. We've been hooked ever since. Rolls have always intimidated me, but not these, they are so easy, you just put all the ingredients in your bread maker and it does all the work! I usually make a dozen rolls and then make cinnamon rolls with the rest. YUM!!

Ingredients:

Place in bread machine pan in this order:

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)

1/2 cup warm milk

1 egg

1/3 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup white sugar

3 3/4 all-purpose flour

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp. from jar)

Directions:

Place ing. in bread machine. Put on dough cycle. Mine takes about 1 1/2 hours. When cycle is done, shape dough into balls and place on greased pan. You can also roll dough out into a circle shape and spread with butter and cut into wedges and make croissant shaped rolls. I brush soft butter on top of mine before and after I bake them. Cover and let them rise on pan for about 30 minutes before you bake. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

Maine Pumpkin Bread
