Soft, pillowy, and irresistibly versatile, this Feather Bread Bread Maker recipe takes the hassle out of homemade baking while delivering bakery-quality bread rolls and buns right to your table. Using a bread maker's 'Dough' setting, this easy recipe combines pantry staples like all-purpose flour and active dry yeast with warm milk, rich unsalted butter, and a touch of sugar for a perfectly tender dough. Shaped into rolls or buns, these golden beauties rise to fluffy perfection in the oven and are ideal for sandwiches, sliders, or served warm with a pat of butter. Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike, this recipe prioritizes simplicity, delicious flavor, and crowd-pleasing results every time.
In the bread maker, add the ingredients in the following order: warm water, whole milk, unsalted butter (cut into smaller chunks), granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the all-purpose flour on top, ensuring it covers the liquid fully to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquids at this stage.
Set the bread maker to the 'Dough' setting and start the cycle. This typically takes around 1.5 hours depending on the machine.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread maker and place it on a floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions for rolls or buns. Shape each portion into a ball or desired shape.
Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each piece to allow for rising.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 30-45 minutes in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bake the rolls or buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Optionally, brush with melted butter for a shiny finish.
