Soft and Easy Buttery Rolls
This is hands down one of my most favorite bread recipes ever. I love that I can easily make it in my bread machine, with a stand mixer, and it’s just as easy to make by hand! These rolls always make an appearance for any holiday – Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. They make a great accompaniment to soup.

Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- ½ cup Challenge Butter, softened, 1 stick
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Bread machine instructions:
- In a bread machine pan, place all ingredients in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons water or flour if needed).
- When the cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Divide into 24 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15-20 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown.
Stand mixer instructions:
- Place the milk and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk. If the yeast is not instant yeast, allow it to sit for a few minutes to activate it.
- Add the sugar, eggs, salt, and flour. Using the paddle attachment for your mixer, mix the ingredients just until combined. Allow the dough to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Divide into 24 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15-20 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown.
- *You can make this bread without a stand mixer or bread machine. Simply mix and knead by hand following the instructions for the stand mixer. Be sure not to add extra flour when kneading by hand. The dough should be sticky.

These look terrific! Love rolls. The buttery-the better. What if you don't have a bread machine though. Found you at somethings swanky link up.

You can definitely make these with an electric mixer with the dough hook – Just make it like a regular bread recipe – mix it, let it rise and punch it down, knead it and let it rise again …. really that's all the bread machine is doing! Or you can make it by hand – it's a little more work, but isn't too difficult! I have another recipe I'll be posting in the near future that is a so easy – you literally mix all the ingredients and put it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days – no kneading involved at all!
Jamie,
Since I don't own a bread machine (which is probably a good thing) do you think I can just mix up the dough with my mixer using the dough hooks to make these?
Great question, Diane! Sure you could! Just make it like a regular bread recipe – mix it, let it rise and punch it down, knead it and let it rise again …. really that's all the bread machine is doing!
Thanks Jamie!
These rolls are great with everything and actually I'd prefer them just with butter and nothing else 🙂
That's exactly the way I like them 🙂
Wow do these rolls look fantastic. My family (Tammie) would gobble them up. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you Tammie! They certainly are fantastic, yummy … and oh so soft!
Ooo! I need to make those. Thank you for sharing. Nothing like a warm, buttery, soft roll!
Need is a good word 😉 LOL
Yum! These look fantastic. I love trying out new bread recipes and I'm definitely going to give these a try!
They are so good! Please feel free to come back after you make them and let me know what you thought!
