I add ingredients as stated on my bread machine. Water, egg, sifted flour, sugar, salt, 1/4 cup margarine (I like it better and it works great) and 2t of yeast. I skip steps 7-9 instead I make balls and dip them in melted butter then after the rolls have doubled in size I crease the center of the rolls with a spatula. Then I let the rolls rise another 15-20 minutes before baking. Thanks DonnaTMann.

Easy and delicious rolls! I love that the bread machine does most of the work. We rolled them in balls, dipped in butter, and baked. I'm excited to warm them up again today to eat with our beef stew.

Tried these this weekend they are our new favorite! I also rolled them into balls and dipped them in butter. I let them rise about forty minutes before I made them into balls and then about an additional hour and a half after i had them in the pan. Perfect... thanks so much for the recipe :)
