- 1 beaten egg
- 2 T. butter
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 t. salt

Instructions
- Combine your milk, beaten egg and butter in a medium bowl. Mix together and pour into bread machine canister. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gently pour on top of the liquid. Make a small well in center and sprinkle the yeast. Select the dough setting on the bread machine and turn on. When complete, spread dough onto floured surface combine a little. Pull off small balls (the size of your palm) and place on parchment lined sheet. Brush tops with melted butter, cover and allow to rise 1 hour. *I don't cover mine, I just place the sheet in the oven with the oven light on for the duration specified. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes. (Might take slightly longer, depending on your oven.) Allow to cool for about 4-5 minutes before slicing in half.
*For HOT DOG BUNS- take the same amount of dough and stretch in an oblong shape and follow the same steps.
*Add sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or chopped jalapeño for some tasty options.
