Servings: 16 rolls

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (maple sugar is my goto)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 cups instant mashed potato flakes
  • 2 tablespoons duck fat or melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt free
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons or half stick of unsalted butter (for brushing the rolls. Do not mix into the dough)

Instructions

  • Mix milk, eggs, salt, sugar, duck fat (or 2 tablespoons of melted butter) into a microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to take some chill out of the mixture. Add the yeast and stir to combine.
  • Add the milk mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour and potato flakes to the bowl. With a dough hook attachment, mix on medium low speed for about 8 minutes until a smooth dough is formed. It should be just pulling away from the sides of the mixing bowl. If the dough appears to be too wet/sticky, add in a tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the mixing bowl after mixing.
  • Lightly grease large mixing bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and cover the bowl with a towel. Place in a warm section of your house and let the dough proof, until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1.5 hours.
  • Press down on the dough with your hand to release the gases.
  • Grease a large baking dish or sheet pan and set aside. You'll be placing the dough on it after you've assembled the rolls.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. You're wanting to dust about a 14x14 inch work surface in which you'll be rolling the dough out on.
  • Place the dough onto the floured work area and shape into a rectangle that's about 12 x 14 inches in size.
  • Lightly brush the dough with butter.
  • Using a kitchen knife, cutting vertically, cut around 2 inch even strips of dough. See picture below the directions.
  • Now, cutting horizontally, cut all of the strips down the middle. See picture below.
  • Roll each dough strip up "like a fruit roll-up". See picture below.
  • Place the dough rolls seam side down on the baking vessel, so that all of the rolls are touching one another.
  • Cover the baking vessel with a towel and let the bread rise for 45 minutes.
  • Pre-heat your oven while the dough is proofing.
  • Brush the rolls with butter or duck fat and then bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. The rolls should be set and browned.
  • This is an optional step, but I like to brush with butter and sprinkle with kosher sea salt as soon as the come out of the oven.
