Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter
– 2 teaspoons of sugar
– 1 cup of mashed potatoes, made from about 2 medium-sized potatoes.
– 1/2 cup of milk that has been heated to a warm temperature
– 2.25 tablespoons of active dry yeast (equivalent to 1 package)
The recipe calls for 4 cups of all-purpose flour.
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 ample-sized egg, whisked (for egg wash)
Preparation Steps:
1. Initiate the Yeast: Combine the heated milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast in a spacious mixing basin, using a whisk. Allow the mixture to rest for a duration of 5 to 10 minutes until it develops a frothy texture, which serves as an indication that the yeast is actively functioning.
2. Integrate the Potatoes: Blend the mashed potatoes into the yeast mixture until well included.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Slowly include the flour and salt, stirring constantly until a dough starts to come together.
4. Manipulate the dough: Place the dough on a surface covered with flour and manipulate it by pressing, folding, and stretching it for a duration of 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and flexible.
5. Initial Fermentation: Transfer the dough to a bowl that has been coated with oil, then cover it with either plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to ferment in a warm location for a duration of 1-2 hours, or until it has increased in volume by twofold.
6. Form the Rolls: Once the dough has risen for the first time, deflate it by punching it down and then divide it into pieces of the same size. Form each piece into a spherical shape and place them on a baking pan that has been coated with oil, being sure to leave some space between each piece.
7. Second Proofing: Place a cover over the pan and let the rolls undergo a second rise for a further 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
8. Preheat the Oven: Adjust the temperature of your oven to 375°F (190°C) in order to preheat it.
9. Apply Egg Wash: Delicately coat the surfaces of the rolls with the beaten egg wash to get a lustrous golden appearance.
Bake and Enjoy: After preheating the oven, cook the rolls until they get a golden brown color and a fluffy texture. Present these exquisite, handcrafted potato dinner rolls while they are still warm, and see how they swiftly vanish from the dining table!
