Description

These Spiced Potato Bread Rolls are soft, fluffy, and infused with warm spices and mashed potatoes for extra moisture and flavor. Perfect for holiday meals, family dinners, or as a savory snack, these rolls combine the comforting taste of potatoes with aromatic cumin and paprika for a deliciously spiced bread.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed potatoes, cooled
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 large egg


Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let this sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add cooled mashed potatoes, softened butter, and the large egg to the yeast mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined smoothly.
  3. Add dry ingredients and form dough: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cumin, and paprika gradually until a soft dough forms. The spices add warmth and flavor to the bread rolls.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Proper kneading develops gluten for a fluffy texture.
  5. First rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  6. Shape the rolls: After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a round roll.
  7. Second rise: Arrange the shaped rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes until puffed up again.
  8. Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 22 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
  9. Cool and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally, brush with melted butter for a softer crust.

Notes

  • Brush the rolls with melted butter after baking for a softer and richer crust.
  • You can substitute mashed sweet potatoes for regular potatoes to create a sweeter flavor variation.
  • Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh.
