Ingredients
-
2
Large eggs lightly beaten
-
1/3 cup
Sugar
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
Salt
-
6 tablespoons
Butter at room temperature
-
1 cup
Unseasoned mashed potato's, lightly packed
-
2 1/2 teaspoons
instant yeast
-
3/4 cup
potato water (from the potato you boil ) cooled to room temperature
-
4 1/4 cups
All purpose flour
Directions
-
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook combine all of the ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl, approximately 6 minutes. The dough should be smooth and shiny. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turn the dough so that its coated with the oil. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap, then cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise until its doubled in bulk in a warm place for 90 minutes.
-
Once the dough has risen, remove from the bowl and on a lightly floured surface divide the dough into 15 pieces, each piece should be about the size of a handball. Gently roll the dough in your cupped hands until it forms a nice round ball. To make sandwich rolls form a slightly larger ball the recipe will yield approximately 12 larger rolls.
-
Place the dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet leaving about 2 inches between each (You will have to use 2 sheet pans) Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and place a kitchen towel over them and let them rise again for 2 hours. Alternatively you can refrigerate the dough balls overnight and continue the rise in the morning.
-
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
-
After the rolls have risen for 2 hours place in your pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They will be golden brown and when you tap them with your finger there will be a hollow sound. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter,
I have loved to cook for as long as I can remember, am self taught learning as I go. I come from a large Italian family and food was at the center of almost every gathering. My grandfather made his own wine and I remember the barrels of wine in the cellar of my grandfathers home, I watched my mother and aunts making homemade pasta and remember how wonderful it was to sit down to a truly amazing dinner. Cooking for me is a way to express myself its my creative outlet. I enjoy making all types of food but especially enjoy baking,
I live in Brooklyn, NY, and I share my home with my two dogs Izzy and Nando.
I like to collect cookbooks and scour magazines and newspapers for recipes. I hope one day to organize them.
