You just can't beat homemade yeast rolls and the bread machine makes it so easy!
Place all ingredients except the 1/4 cup butter into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle and start the machine.
Shape the dough into 20 to 24 balls and place in buttered pan (s).
Melt the 1/4 cup butter and brush it over the tops of rolls, saving the excess for brushing on after baking.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until double in bulk.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 18 minutes.
Brush baked rolls with remaining butter.
