Fluffy Potato Buns
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup scalded milk, cooled
  • 1/2 cup prepared mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Begin by combining the yeast with warm water in a bowl, allowing it to soften and develop into a rich, creamy foam over the course of 5 minutes.
2
Next, combine milk, mashed potatoes, shortening, sugar and salt in a separate bowl to create a harmonious mixture.
3
Then, add the yeast-infused water to this mixture and incorporate an egg for added richness.
4
Mix in 2 cups of flour until the ingredients are fully incorporated, followed by an additional 2.5 cups of flour to form a smooth, pliable dough.
5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and engage in a kneading process until it becomes smooth, elastic and well-developed, taking approximately 7 minutes.
6
Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly greased bowl and gently coat all sides with oil.
7
Cover the bowl and place it in a warm, inviting environment where the dough can double in size over the course of 1 hour.
8
Following this, punch down the dough and shape it into a spherical form. Cover the bowl once more to allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
9
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), ensuring it is ready for the final stages of preparation.
10
Grease two baking sheets to prevent the rolls from sticking and prepare them for the dough.
11
Shape the dough into 24 individual rolls, placing each one onto a prepared baking sheet.
12
Allow the rolls to rise until they spring back when touched, taking 25-40 minutes.
13
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they achieve a golden brown color, taking 10-12 minutes.
