Bread Machine Sandwich Rolls

Have you ever wanted to make your own sandwich rolls at home, but thought it would be too time-consuming or difficult? Well, I have a recipe that will change your mind! These bread machine sandwich rolls are easy to make and taste so much better than store-bought ones. They are perfect for sandwiches at lunch or a burger at dinner.

I never use my bread machine to actually bake bread, but I love using it to mix the dough for these rolls. All you have to do is add the ingredients to the bread machine, turn it on, and let it knead the dough for you. Leave the dough in the warm machine to rise until doubled. Then divide it into individual rolls and shape them into the desired size and shape. 

Once the rolls have doubled in size, they are ready to be baked. Sometimes, I brush them with a little bit of melted butter before baking to give them a nice, soft crust. And that's it! In just a few easy steps, you'll have homemade sandwich rolls that are perfect for any occasion.

Once you try making your own bread machine sandwich rolls, you'll never want to go back to store-bought ones again. They are so easy to make and taste so much better, it's worth the extra effort. Plus, there's nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen! Give this recipe a try and see for yourself just how delicious homemade rolls can be. Trust me, you'll never want to go back to store-bought ones again!

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1/3 cup sugar (can reduce, if desired)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons dried milk
• 1 package dried yeast
• 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup very warm water (add more if needed)
• Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

1. Place the bread flour, sugar, salt, dried milk, and yeast in the bread machine and start the machine on the "Dough" cycle. Let the dry ingredients combine for a minute or two.

2. Add the cubes of butter and the cup of very warm water. Let the machine do the work of mixing and kneading the dough for you. If the dough seems too dry, add additional warm water one tablespoon at a time. Once the dough is mixed, let it stay in the warm bread machine cycle for about an hour or more,  until the dough has doubled in size.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a roll shape and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you wish, brush the rolls with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.

4. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 10 - 15 minutes or until they are lightly brown on the outside. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy your homemade sandwich rolls with your favorite sandwich fillings or as a bun for burgers.
