Bread, in one form or another, is an accompaniment to most of our meals. I originally found this recipe in a 2004 Taste of Home cookbook and have made it numerous times. It's light, airy and seasoned just right. Using a bread machine to mix the dough, makes this an extremely easy recipe! These rolls would also be perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Instructions
In a bread machine pan, place the first ten 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 cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 16 equal portions; shape each into a ball. Place 2-in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size - about 30-45 minutes.
Bake at 375° F. for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
