Potato Bread Rolls Recipe

Ever since I heard of potato buns, I wanted to bake them and I got a chance when I decided to do a bread theme for September Mega Marathon. But after some days, I had a change of mind and did some other themes for it. I had these rolls baked before changing my mind, so it was in my drafts. And when Pavani, our host for Bread Bakers this month gave the theme as Fall Fruits and Vegetables, she had potatoes included in the list. I at once decided to feature the recipe for the theme.

I have never tasted potato buns and so I had no idea what to expect when baking these rolls. Once the rolls came out of oven, I was so surprised and equally happy to find that the rolls were ultra soft to touch. This softness is so different from the other bread rolls I have made in the past and it is surely the work of the mashed potatoes in the dough. I made a small batch of just four rolls, and all the rolls got over on the same day. It was just amazing.

We tried the first roll just like that to see how it tastes, but the other three, I made sandwich out of them. I made some caramelized onions and some potato sauté which was wonderful as the filling for the sandwich. As Sruti has become a fan of caramelized onions, she loved it so much.  I am so tempted to try it again while drafting this post. It is that yum. Do try and share your results with me.

Ingredients:

Mashed Potato – 1/4 cup

Honey 1/2 tbs

Butter -1 tbs

Flour / Maida – 1 1/2 cups

Salt – 3/4 tsp

Water – 1/2 cup

Procedure:

In a bowl mix together flour, salt and yeast.

Add in the mashed potatoes and mix well. To avoid lumps in potatoes, pass it through a metal sieve.

Transfer to counter and knead it for 8 -10 minutes.

Place in a well oiled bowl, coat the top of the dough with oil and cover with cling wrap.

Set aside until double.

Remove dough from bowl, and divide it into 4 equal portions.

Shape each into a log and roll it tightly.

Pinch ends and place the log seam side down in a greased baking tray.
