Bread Machine Potato Buns Recipes

Steps:

• If making POTATO ROLLS: Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Allow the yeast to activate and then mix in sugar or honey.
• Add mashed potatoes, vegetable oil, eggs and salt. Use mixer or bread hooks.
• Add flour one cup at a time stopping at 5 1/2 cups. Slowly add remaining flour until the dough is only slightly sticky to the touch. The dough should be workable but not dry.
• Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, or it can sit overnight at room temperature.
• Punch down and then roll dough out on floured surface to 1/2" thickness.
• Use a canning jar ring to cut rolls - should make 30-36 rolls.
• Place on a greased pan and allow to rise till almost doubled.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• If desired, slather outside tops with butter while still warm.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: Prep time does not include rise times as they will vary.
• If making POTATO BREAD: Place into bread pan in order as listed above OR as per manufacturer's guidelines.
• Set for 1 1/2 lb. bread loaf and start bread machine.
• Walk away until you hear the "ding" of the bread machine - approximately 3 hours later.
• Remove from pan and slather outside of the loaf with butter while still warm from machine.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Put water, sugar and yeast in bread machine pan. Let stand no less than 10 and no longer than 15 minutes to proof the yeast. Do not omit this step as it will insure that your yeast is working!
• 2. Once your yeast has proofed,add the flour, instant potato flakes, oil and salt to the bread machine pan.
• 3. Set bread machine to the dough cycle, close the lid and let the machine do the work. Check the dough when it is about half way through mixing. You may need to add a tablespoon of warm water if the dough seems dry.
• 4. Once the dough has risen, shut off bread machine and dump the dough into a bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. Spray your hands with the non-stick spray and divide dough in half. Divide each of the two balls of into two or three pieces. You will now have 4 or 6 balls of dough. Divide each ball of dough into three pieces and form into a bun. You will have 12 or 18 balls of dough to form into buns.
• 5. Place formed buns on a greased cookie sheet. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise until doubled in size--it may take up to 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
• 6. While the buns are raising on the pan, preheat oven to 350. When buns have doubled in size, remove the towel and put the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or light golden brown.
• 7. Once they have baked, remove from oven and turn out onto waxed paper lined rack or counter top to cool. Brush the top of each bun with butter and let cool. I use about a 2 tablespoon size piece of butter and hold it with waxed paper and just lightly rub the butter over each bun.
• 8. Let cool if you can wait that long and enjoy! I find that if my kids are around when they are baked, I have to stand guard over the buns so there are some left!

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine, water,milk, butter & instant potato flakes, heat in microwave for one minute.
• When cooled, add 1 slightly beaten egg, then place ingrediens in bread machine.
• Put sugar & bread flour on top of liquid ingredients and make a well in the center then add yeast. Sprinkle salt at outer edges, being careful not to touch yeast.
• Select dough cycle.
• When dough cycle is done, punch dough down, divide into 12 equal pieces, roll into snake/roll pieces. Coil each rope to make a snail shape and arrange rolls in a circle on a large greased baking sheet with sides barely touching.
• Leave room for your centerpiece in the center ( usually 8-10"), cover rolls with a hot towel and allow to raise for about 25-45 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees, remove from sheet, coat with butter,cool and serve.
