Start by gathering your ingredients. Pour your milk into the pan of your bread machine first. This is important because it helps to create a warm environment for the yeast to activate. Next, add the bread flour, followed by the sugar and salt. Then, make a small well in the center and add the yeast—all of this contributes to the rising process. Finally, drizzle in the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried herbs.

Place the pan into your bread machine and ensure it’s securely in place. Set your machine to the Dough cycle and press Start. As the machine kneads the dough, you can do a little happy dance! About 50 minutes later, you’ll have a beautifully risen, soft dough ready for the next step.

Once the dough cycle finishes, it's time to get hands-on. Remove the dough from the pan and place it on a floured surface. Gently press down on the dough, deflating it slightly. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions—eyeball it or use a scale if you're feeling precise. Roll each piece into a ball, tucking the edges underneath for a smooth appearance.

Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Place the round dough balls in the pan, making sure they sit pretty close together. This helps them rise up instead of spread out. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for about 60 minutes until they’ve almost doubled in size.

While your rolls are on their final rise, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls are puffed and fluffy, pop the baking pan in the oven. Bake for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and irresistible.

After removing the pan from the oven, let the rolls cool for a few minutes. I recommend brushing a little melted butter on top for that gorgeous, glossy finish. Serve them warm, and watch them disappear!
