Steps:
- Prep and Mixing
- Make sure you have at least 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, whether leftover, made just for this bread, or pulled from a dish you plan to serve later.
- Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt) in a bowl.
- Heat the milk so it is warm enough to melt the butter. Add the honey, butter and mashed potatoes to the milk, allowing mixture to cool to under 95F.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients until fully incorporated, and then knead by hand for 3-4 minutes. If you had thin mashed potatoes or thirsty flour, and your dough is stiff or sticky-wet, adjust the hydration with additional milk or flour.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it.
- First Rise
- Let the dough rise until it is about doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. (See the end of the instructions for sourdough timing.)
- Dividing and Shaping
- Divide the dough into 14 pieces if you're using two 9" round cakes pans, or 15 pieces if your using a 9x13" rectangular pan.
- Roll the dough into balls and place them in your lightly greased pan(s).
- Lightly brush the rolls with milk and cover.
- Final Proof and Baking
- Let the rolls rise for about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat your oven for about 20 minutes at 375F.
- Brush your proofed rolls with milk again and sprinkle them with sesame seeds and crushed rosemary if you want.
- Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the pan(s) from the oven and brush the rolls with butter to keep the outside soft.
- Serving and Reheating
- Serve after they have cooled 10 minutes. If you are serving later, let them cool completely, then cover them. Reheat the rolls just before serving by warming them in the oven for a few minutes or microwaved on a plate for a few seconds.
- Sourdough Version
- The bulk fermentation could be anywhere from 8-15 hours depending on your room temperature. At 67F, my dough took 12 hours.
- You can expect your final proof to be about 3-6 hours. In a warm (mid-80s) lit oven, my dough took 3.5 hours, but at cooler temps, you may need about twice that time.
- (The dough expansion shown in the the photo gallery during both rises applies to both the yeast and sourdough versions.)
