Fluffy Potato Dinner Rolls
By Rauf khan
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- One cup of mashed potatoes (about two medium potatoes) and
- two tablespoons of sugar
- Half a cup of hot milk
- One packet of 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- Four cups of all-purpose flour
- One teaspoon of salt
- For the egg wash, beat one large egg.
Getting ready:
- To activate the yeast, put the yeast, sugar, melted butter, and warm milk in a large mixing basin. Let it sit for five to ten minutes, or until the yeast starts to activate and foam.
- Add Potatoes: Mix the yeast mixture well with the mashed potatoes.
- Mix the Flour and Salt: Stir the mixture until a dough forms, then gradually add the flour and salt.
- Knead Dough: Place the dough on a surface dusted with flour and knead it for five to seven minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth.
- First Rise: Put the dough in a bowl that has been oiled, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it in a warm location for one to two hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape Rolls: Separate the dough into parts of the same size by punching it down. Form each part into a ball and arrange them, leaving some space between each roll, in a baking pan that has been oiled.
- The second rise is when the rolls double in size, so cover them and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Brush with Egg Wash: Use beaten egg wash to brush the rolls’ tops. Have fun!
