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.
