1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (heated to 70-80°F)
large egg
1 (lightly beaten)
vegetable oil
4 1/2 teaspoons (none)
bread flour
3 1/4 cups (none)
sugar
1/4 cup (none)
salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (none)
instant yeast

melted butter (optional)

Instructions
1
In the bread machine pan, add the ingredients in the order specified by your manufacturer's instructions, starting with the water, followed by the egg, oil, flour, sugar, salt, and finally the yeast.
2
Select the basic bread setting on your bread machine and start the process.
3
After about 5 minutes of mixing, check the consistency of the dough. If it feels too sticky, slowly add 1-2 tablespoons of flour; if it's too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water until it reaches the right dough texture.
4
For baking the standard loaf, simply let the machine complete its cycle and enjoy the fresh bread once it's cooled.
5
For making dinner rolls, instead of baking the bread right away, select the dough setting on your bread machine and allow it to complete its cycle.
6
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the rolls.
7
Once the dough is ready, lightly grease a 9x13-inch metal baking pan.
8
Shape the dough into 15 evenly-sized balls, greasing your hands with shortening to help smooth the surface and prevent sticking.
9
Place the balls into the prepared pan, ensuring they are close together for touching sides. Cover the pan with a clean cloth or plastic wrap.
10
Let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free location until they have roughly doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
11
Once risen, bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
12
As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with melted butter for added flavor and a beautiful finish.
13
Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
