Tender Bread Machine Rolls

3/4 cup milk, slightly warmed

1 egg, slightly beaten
3 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Cut dough in equal sized pieces and place into greased muffin tins. You should have exactly 18 rolls or you can shape them another way you prefer and place on a cookie sheet.

Cover and let rise in a warm place for thirty minutes or until doubled in size.
