Potato bread rolls are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or as a snack with tea. Using mashed potatoes in the dough gives the rolls extra moisture and softness.

Ingredients

For the dough:

· 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)

· 1 medium boiled potato, mashed (about 1/2 cup)

· 2 tbsp sugar

· 1 tsp salt

· 1 tsp instant yeast

· 1/4 cup warm milk

· 1/4 cup warm water

· 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

· 1 tsp oil for greasing

For topping (optional):

· 1 tbsp melted butter or milk

· Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture

· In a small bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast.

· Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Make the Dough

· In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.

· Add the mashed potato, softened butter, and frothy yeast mixture.

· Knead for 8–10 minutes until you get a soft, smooth, and elastic dough.

3. First Proofing

· Lightly grease a bowl with oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp cloth.

· Let it rise for 1–1.5 hours or until the dough doubles in size.

4. Shape the Rolls

· Punch down the dough to remove air.

· Divide the dough into 8–10 equal portions.

· Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place on a greased baking tray.

· Leave some space between the rolls.

5. Second Proofing

· Cover the rolls and let them rest for 30–40 minutes until they puff up.

6. Preheat Oven

· Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

7. Bake the Rolls

· Brush the rolls with milk or melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

· Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Cool & Serve

· Remove from oven, let them cool slightly, and enjoy warm potato bread rolls.

Tips for Soft Rolls

· Use mashed potatoes that are smooth and free of lumps.

· Avoid adding too much flour; a slightly sticky dough gives softer rolls.

· Brush with butter after baking for extra shine and softness.

These potato bread rolls are perfect for sandwiches, sliders, or just enjoying with butter and jam.
