Homemade Sweet Dinner Rolls

Place water, milk, egg, ⅓ cup softened butter, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Knead and first rise cycle.
When cycle finishes, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cut that half in half and continue cutting each half in half with a bench scraper or knife until you have about 8 to 10 pieces. (see notes)
Shape the dinner rolls by stretching each dough ball piece around the edge of the ball and pulling it into the center at the bottom of the dough ball tightly. Place each roll on a lightly greased cookie sheet. You should get about 16 rolls from all of the dough. If not don't worry about it. As long as the rolls are about the same size they will all cook evenly.
Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.

Place all the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to incorporate all ingredients.
Measure milk, water and ⅓ cup of butter into a small bowl and warm in the microwave until the butter is melted about 20 to 30 seconds
Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Add the egg and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is nice and incorporated. Turn out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for about 10 minutes. Add flour as needed. Humidity affects all dough and you may need to add more flour. You want a nice elastic piece of dough. You don't want it to be sticky. If after ten minutes it is still sticky sprinkle with more flour and kneads for another minute or two.
Put dough into a lightly greased bowl and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
Continue with step 2 above (bread maker directions), cutting and forming your rolls.
Preheat oven to 400 F. degrees before the next step.
After the shaped dinner roll dough has risen for about an hour and your rolls have doubled in size melt the remaining ¼ cup of butter and brush over the rolls.
Bake the dinner rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Each oven is different. You should check out the rolls after about 10 minutes. If they are evenly browned they are done. If they are only lightly browned at 10 minutes bake them for another five minutes.
Keep the rolls warm before serving.
