Having fresh bread rolls with dinner can make a meal complete. With busy days and kids at events, the chance of actually being able to make bread the old-fashioned way is very slim. But these easy bread machine rolls are perfect for making and go great with dinner.

These are so simple to make – like my Burger Bun recipe using the bread machine, it’s my go-to one when I want fresh rolls for dinner. The kids love them warm out of the oven, but even if you make them ahead they are great frozen and thawed a week or two later.

They are perfect for your weeknight dinner or make a great addition to your holiday meal (perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas!). My bread machine is one of the most used machines in the kitchen with a basic white loaf most days cooking overnight and then rolls and more special breads at the weekend it fills the house with the smell of baking all the time!
