Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
  • 8 tablespoons melted unsalted butter divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 4-5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the warm water, sugar and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand for 3 minutes or until it starts to bubble.
  2. Add the milk, mashed potatoes, 6 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, salt and the egg. Stir to combine.
  3. Add 4 cups of flour and using the kneading paddle, set on medium to mix. Add more flour until it forms a nice ball. Knead for 7 minutes or up to 15 minutes by hand. Check the dough. It should be stretchy when pulled apart. It shouldn’t just break apart.
  4. Form a ball with the dough and cover with a cloth. Place in a warm place (oven) and allow to rise until doubled for about an hour.
  5. Push the dough down and divide into 24 even size pieces. Roll into balls.
  6. Spray a large pan with cooking spray and place the dough balls evenly in the pan.
  7. Let the rolls rise until doubled.
  8. Heat the oven to 350°. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  9. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

Notes

  • Proof - To proof the yeast, you need to add it to the warm water and sugar and allow it to bubble for 3 to 5 minutes.  If the yeast doesn’t begin to bubble, you will need to dump it out and start over with fresh yeast.
