Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp Rapid Rise active dry yeast

Instructions

Making the Dough in Bread Machine

  • Stir lemon juice into milk and let sit for 5-10 minutes to make sour milk.
  • Place sour milk, egg, and softened butter into bread machine pan.
  • Add flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda into pan, completely covering wet ingredients.
  • Add yeast to the top of the ingredients.
  • Place in bread machine and set to form dough. Run the full dough cycle. When the dough cycle is complete, move on to forming the rolls.

Forming the Rolls

  • Grease 13x9 inch pan with butter. Place some butter on fingertips. Take a golf-ball size piece of dough and use your fingers to tuck the dough under the bottom, forming a smooth round top.
  • Form 20 rolls with the dough. Cover with a light dishcloth and set in a draft-free, warm area to rise.
  • Allow rolls to rise for about 1 1/2 hours. When rolls have risen and the dough does not bounce back when you press it lightly with your finger, they are ready to bake.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. The rolls should be well browned on top.
