Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, salt, Italian herbs, and garlic powder into the bread machine pan.
Carefully measure the bread flour and place it into the bread machine pan on top of the liquid ingredients.
Make a small indentation in the center of the flour without reaching the liquid, and add the active dry yeast into the indentation.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start the program. This will mix, knead, and proof the dough.
When the dough cycle is complete (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours), turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for rising.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish and added flavor.
Serve warm with butter or as a side to your favorite Italian dish.
