What pound setting should I select?

Many machines allow you to specify how big of a loaf you are wanting to make. (1 lb., 1.5 lb., 2 lb., etc.) Since you are only using the dough cycle, specifying this won't change how it is made in the machine so any size should work.

What if my dough doesn't rise?

There could be a few reasons for this. 1.) Your yeast is expired. Check the date! 2.) The environment isn't warm enough. I sometimes turn on my oven for 2-3 minutes to make it warm. Turn it off, place the dough in the oven, and let it rise in there.

Can I use quick-rise yeast?

Yep! This recipe was tested with Dry Active Yeast but I do know quick rise will work as well. Just keep an eye on the dough as it will rise faster.

Instructions

Make It Now:

Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed. Run on the dough cycle. It should be around 90 minutes for reference.
Punch the dough down and then remove from the bread maker.
Roll dough into balls (a little bigger than the size of a golf ball) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Loosely cover with plastic wrap (or a thin dish towel).
Let dough balls rise in a warm atmosphere for about 1 hour. Timing will depend on humidity and temperature!
Preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 13-15 minutes (watch carefully so they don’t burn).

Freeze For Later: Bake rolls as stated in the recipe. Let cool completely. Place rolls in air-tight, freezer bag or container. Freeze up to 1 month for best quality.

Prepare From Frozen: Let rolls thaw on the counter or in refrigerator overnight.

To Freeze Before Baking: Follow the steps all the way up to baking. Freeze the rolls of dough on a baking pan.

Notes/Tips

There is no need to activate the yeast prior to adding it to the machine.
If you have more questions, be sure to read the article above.
To make the rolls extra smooth: When rolling the dough into balls, pull the outer edges up and towards the center of the dough, all around. Gently pinch the pulled edges together. Turn the ball over so that the seam side is facing down, unseen on your baking sheet.
