1. In a small skillet, melt the butter. Add onion, garlic, and herbs. Sauté over medium heat until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

2. Place all ingredients, including onion mixture, in bread pan, select Dough setting and press Start.

3. When the dough has risen long enough, the machine will beep. Turn off bread machine, remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a lightly floured countertop or cutting board.

4. Gently roll and stretch dough into an 18 inch rope. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin, a 9x13x2 inch pan or a large baking sheet.

For 1 1/2 pound Dough With a sharp knife, divide dough into 18 pieces. (Hint - first cut dough into 6 equal pieces, then cut each of those into three pieces.)

For 1 pound Dough With a sharp knife, divide dough into 12 pieces.

5. Roll dough into balls; place in prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm oven 30 - 45 minutes until doubles. (Hint - to warm oven slightly, turn oven on Warm setting for 1 minute, then turn it off, and place covered dough in oven to rise. Remove from oven to preheat.)

6. Preheat oven to 400. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm.

order - Onion mixture, salt, sugar, flour, yeast then water. Make sure that your salt and yeast are not together (salt can inhibit yeast action). I don't do the rising in the oven - I prepare and cover dough and set on top of stove (with the oven warmed underneath). These rolls are really nice!!!!!!
