Best Bread And Roll Recipes: How To Make Potato Bread And Potato Rolls At The Same Time

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup mashed cooked peeled baking potatoes (about 8 ounces)
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4-1/2 cups bread flour - DIVIDED
• 2-1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 large eggs OR 1/2 cup egg substitute
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix potatoes, milk, honey, and butter in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 2 minutes or until mixture is 110 degrees. Or heat on stove top and use a thermometer to get to 110 degrees.
2. Stir with whisk until smooth.
3. Spoon flour into measuring cup – measure 1-1/2 cups flour. Combine with yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl.
4. Add potato mixture to flour mixture, stirring until combined.
5. Add eggs or egg substitute and stir until combined.
6. Add 2 cups flour to potato mixture, stir until soft dough forms.
7. Turn dough onto a floured surface – knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); or put into standing mixer with dough attachment or food processor with dough paddle and knead that way for 10 minutes.
8. Add enough of remaining 1/2 cup of flour 1 tablespoon at a time to prevent dough from sticking to hands (or work bowl) – dough will feel sticky still.
9. Place dough in large bowl coated with olive oil (or cooking spray), turning to coat the top.
10. Cover and let rise in warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts for 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press 2 fingers into dough – if indentation remains, dough has risen enough).
11. Punch dough down, cover and let rest 5 minutes.
12. Divide dough in half. Work with 1 portion at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying).

Potato Bread Loaf

1. Roll 1 portion of the dough into a 14 x 7 inch rectangle on a floured surface. 
2. Roll up the rectangle tightly starting with short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets.  Pinch seam and ends to seal. 
3. Place loaf seam side down in an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. 

Rolls

1. Shape remaining portion into 9 portions and shape each into a ball. 
2. Place the balls in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. 
3. Coat top of loaf and rolls with cooking spray – lightly spray. 

Baking Directions For Both Loaf and Rolls

1. Cover and let rise in warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.  (Press 2 fingers into dough – if indentation remains, dough has risen enough)
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
3. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until tops of rolls are browned and load sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. 
4. Remove from pans – cool on wire racks.
