Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
An easy Bread Machine Dinner Roll recipe. There is nothing more delicious than freshly baked bread!
Servings: 10 rolls
Ingredients
- 300 g bread flour
- 5 g instant yeast
- 5 g sugar
- 5 g Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 190-195 ml warm water
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Japanese Ingredient Substitution: If you want substitutes for Japanese condiments and ingredients, click here.
Instructions
- In bread making machine, add half of bread flour and dry yeast.
- Add in sugar, salt, and warm water. Mix well until smooth.
- Add in olive oil and mix.
- Add the rest of bread flour and turn on bread making machine. Select the “Dough” option and press start (it will finish until the 1st proof).
- After it’s done, take out the dough and divide it into 8-12 equal portions.
- Fold each dough from all sides to make a ball and pinch at the bottom to close the seam. Put each roll on a baking sheet and cover the rolls with plastic wrap or moist towel. Rest for 10 minutes.
- On a working surface, press each roll with your hand and release gas. Roll each roll into a ball shape again, folding the dough from all sides and pinching it on the bottom. Sprinkle bread flour over the rolls. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, keeping some distance between.
- Preheat the oven Proof setting (100ºF/38ºC). Put a baking pan with warm water in it inside the oven in order to keep the bread moist.
- Proof the rolls in the oven for 40 minutes, or until nearly doubled. This is the 2nd proof.
- Take out the bread and preheat the oven to 410ºF (210ºC). Spray water on top of rolls.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
To Store
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 2 days or in the freezer for a month.

Hiya Nami! I’ts been a while since i last responded on one of your blogposts 🙂 Im really not sure where i can ask this best, so i thought to ask it here.
I have a recipy request. I would like to see your version of Melon pan. I’ve found multiple recipe’s online but to be honest, im a huge fan of all of your recipe’s. So im quite qurious to your version of it. Ive tried the search button on your website, but i could not find it yet. I really hope you will consider uploading this recipy!
Lots of Love

Hi Skye! Once my kitchen renovation is done and get new oven, I’m planning to work on all kinds of Japanese bread. Melon pan is definitely included. Sorry to make you wait… Hope I can share a really good recipe and I’ll work hard! 🙂
Thank you for your response Nami! I am definetly looking forward to the bread recipe’s. I recently bought a mixer.. So no more handmixing! huray! Makes my life in making bread and other batters so much easier!
I am more then confident that the recipy you will upload rocks some serious breadness! I can’t wait. Also at the moment im taking a course to learn to speak basic japanese, and to learn how to write and understand the writing. Im not there yet, but it makes my life in the japanese cuisine so much easier! Sorry for all the blah blah! Im just so enthousiastic.
Lots of Love
Skye
Hi Skye! Great to hear you got a mixer. Yes, it’ll be so much easier and faster with a stand mixer. Congrats! 🙂 How exciting that you’re taking a Japanese lesson. Good luck! Ganbatte ne!
Well, this my new favorite blog, because i love your recipes!
very good recipe
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for this recipe I’m gonna try this next time. By the way you’ve mention “peeler”, what is it? kindly post a picture please. I hope you can add videos too while doing the procedure. Thanks.
Hi Leah! I’m sorry it’s typo. Not peeler, it’s called a peel (pizza peel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_%28tool%29). I’m sorry there are no step-by-step pictures for the early recipes on my blog. I don’t know if or when I make videos but I make step by step pictures for all the newer recipes. 🙂
Nami-san, what is the difference between a Japanese bread-maker and a Western one? I am just wondering if I could make a loaf of authentic Japanese bread in my bread-maker and what the recipe would be? Many thanks in advance.
Hi Marianna! I’ve never owned or used an American bread maker so I cannot compare well. But thinking how the bread is different, Japanese bread maker focuses more on Japanese quality bread than American kind? I haven’t used my old bread maker for a long time (it’s Panasonic made in USA) so I am sorry that I cannot give you any recipe that I can confidently share. Maybe one day…when I have more time. 🙂
Hi Nami, I’ve been checking out your recipes and they are all amazing, would love to try all some day, do you mind showing me (if you’re not busy) how to make cream puffs with custard fillings, there’s none in the dessert section, and maybe sponge cake, thanks ;D
Hi Ashley! Thank you so much for checking my recipes. Since last year I slowly started making desserts and baking in general, so my baking skill is still very limited. Cream puffs are my husband’s favorite and I do hope to make them one day at home. It might be a while until I give it a try, but I hope you enjoy following my baking journey. 🙂 Thank you very much for following my blog!
Thank you so much for replying, of course I’ll continue enjoying your baking journey and other recipes, I’ll wait until your other recipes come out then, thanks 😀
Nami-chan, Always enjoying your recipes and updates on your family on your blog. Amazing job. Your step by step instructions with pretty pictures are making my cooking effort fun and enjoyable 😉
Question, which bread making machine do you use or would you recommend? I am thinking of getting one for myself now!
Have a safe trip to Japan! Midori
Hi Midori-chan! So happy to hear that you have been following my blog. ^_^ Thank you!!
I have very old Panasonic bread making machine (made in USA too) which my expat Japanese friend gave me when she left for Japan. If you plan to use it for a long time, it’s totally worth it to buy a newer one. You can make mochi and nikuman dough and it’s really convenient. I plan to buy a new one when kids are a little older because I really don’t have time to bake bread at this time…
Check Mitsuwa or other Japanese market. Some of my friends even brought it from Japan because there are even newer version. Sorry I can’t help much!
Thanks for the well wishes!
Can you possibly share a dinner roll recipe without using a bread machine?
Thank you for your comment, Tom! Last year I spent some time to practice making french bread, but got so busy and stopped. Lately I don’t have time to make bread from scratch…I really enjoy baking fresh bread, so I will come up with recipe someday, but not for now. Sorry about that.
