Ingredients:
1 tsp salt
4 T. sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 T. butter (or margarine)
3 cups bread flour (good flour like the turkey flour from Lehi Mills)
1 heaping tsp. yeast (I use quick rise)
Directions:
Put loaf container in bread machine and put on the kneading attachment. Add salt, sugar, and egg to the container. In a small bowl microwave the milk and butter for 1 minute. (The milk will be hot and the butter soft, but not melted.) Carefully pour the milk into the container. Add the flour and spread it around to cover the liquid ingredients. Then add the yeast. Set bread machine for 1st rise cycle only. (In my bread machine there is a dough setting - #7. Set it to that and let it knead. Watch it after few minutes to make sure all the ingredients are kneading properly and not getting stuck in the corner. If they are stuck, use a bread knife to scrape them off into the middle of the container so they can be kneaded as well.
Once the bread cycle is done, dump the dough out onto the counter and divide it into 16 balls. Place the rolled balls into a greased 9x13 pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until they have doubled in size (about 2 hours). Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes (until the rolls are golden brown over most of the top surfaces).
Remove rolls from pan and let them cool on top of a cooling rack or clean towel.
*This dough can also be used to make cinnamon rolls. Simply follow the same directions for the rolls until the dough is done in the bread maker. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread with cinnamon & sugar filling:
1/2 cup softened butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Roll up dough and cut into slices. Let rise for 90 minutes (or until doubled in size) and then bake at 350 degrees for 16 minutes. Frost while warm.
Difficulty: Easy
Time to Make: about 3 + 1/2 hours
