Step 1

Remove the bread pan from your unplugged bread machine.

Step 2

Soften butter in a microwave.

Step 3

Place the milk, butter and then the rest of the ingredients into the bread pan. You can make a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the milk (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.

Step 4

Place the bread pan (with ingredients) back into the bread machine and plug in the machine.

Step 5

Put your machine on the "Dough" setting and press the start button. In our bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.

Step 6

When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts. Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour the dough) in order to avoid the dough sticking to the cutting board.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.

Step 8

Roll the dough pieces into balls and then press them down slightly into semi-"patties" on a baking sheet.

Step 9

Use a pastry brush & coat each dough ball/patty with olive oil.

Step 10

Cover the dough ball/patties with plastic wrap or a slightly wet cloth to protect the dough from dust, etc.

Step 11

Let the dough sit for at least 40 minutes. During this time, the yeast will rise and the dough will slowly expand into a round roll shape.

Step 12

Preheat oven to 350 degrees before you begin to bake your rolls.

Step 13

Remove the cover. Do not move the dough on the baking sheet.

Step 14

Optional - Sprinkle a little salt on top of dough before baking. It should stick to the olive oil.

Step 15

Place the baking sheet in the oven. Wear oven mitts.

Step 16

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on the size & shape of your bread rolls. To ensure even coloring, turn the baking sheet around in the oven at the 10 minute mark. Remember to wear oven mitts as the oven will be very hot.

Step 17

Remove the baking sheet and place rolls on a cooling rack. Wear oven mitts. Let the rolls cool down for 5-10 minutes.
