In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm (around 37-40°C or 98-104°F). Take it off the heat and add the butter, stirring until it melts completely. Let this cool slightly.
Crack the egg into a bowl and lightly beat it. Add the milk and butter mixture to the bread machine pan, followed by the beaten egg.
Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan. Be sure to sprinkle the salt away from where the yeast will be added.
Create a small well in the flour, then add the instant yeast into the well to prevent direct contact with the wet ingredients early on.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' setting and start it. Allow the bread machine to do its work of kneading and proofing, which takes about 1.5 hours depending on your machine.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently punch it down to release any air bubbles.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, evenly spaced apart to allow room for expansion.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm, draft-free environment for about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Before baking, you can brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite meal. Enjoy the heavenly light texture of these dinner rolls!
