Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in warm water.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, add the milk, mashed potatoes, and 4 tablespoons of butter.
    Heat on high for one minute, stir, then heat for an additional 30-60 seconds, until the butter is melted and the milk is warm but not hot.
  • Add the milk mixture, sugar, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture.
  • Add two cups of flour, and mix to combine. Mix in additional flour, ¼ cup at a time, to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about one hour, until doubled.
  • After one hour, gently punch the dough down. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Divide the dough into 24 pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls of dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
    Cover and let rise for 30-60 minutes, until the dough springs back when touched lightly.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Serve warm.
